Is a High Scar Tummy Tuck Right for You?

by Ellen Mahony

Woman pinching her midsection where she may be a candidate for high scar tummy tuck surgery. A high scar tummy tuck is a type of abdominoplasty where the incision sits a little higher on your abdomen than with the traditional approach. This option can work well if the standard technique doesn’t match your needs or goals.

With more than two decades of surgical experience, Dr. Ellen Mahony has earned recognition as one of the few female board-certified plastic surgeons in Westport, Connecticut. Her background in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery allows her to recommend the best tummy tuck technique for you.

Who Is a Candidate?

A high scar tummy tuck can be the right choice for people who:

  • Have loose skin or a bowed abdominal wall and want a slimmer figure, but don’t have enough excess skin for a low scar procedure.
  • Have had prior abdominal surgery and want to remove existing scars. A high scar technique allows those older scars to be revised and replaced with a single incision.
  • Prefer the scar higher on the abdomen for personal or cosmetic reasons.

Benefits of a High Scar Tummy Tuck

One of the biggest benefits of a high scar tummy tuck is the change you can see in your shape and proportions. If you are the right candidate, this technique can give you a flatter abdominal contour without adding a vertical scar. 

It may also reduce the appearance of older surgical scars for a more streamlined look that should feel like a big improvement.

Plan Your Next Step

A high scar tummy tuck can make a meaningful difference if you want a more balanced shape or if you are ready to improve the appearance of older scars. When you work with Dr. Mahony, you can expect clear guidance and a treatment plan that reflects your goals.
