Where is the scar going to be?

-
The scar for an abdominoplasty is placed across the lower abdomen. It stretches from one side to the other and is quite long. Sometimes your doctor may use a second incision that goes upwards from the pubic area. All surgery requires a scar and all scars take time to soften and fade. You will not see the final appearance of your scar for a year after surgery. It is usually red and raised for the first month or two after your operation.
