Many women present to our office with prior appendectomy or cesarian section scars that they wish to have removed. Often these scars can be excised and removed at the same time as an abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck" operation. Typically in an abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck" operation the skin from the lower abdomen is removed from just above the pubic hair line to above the umbilicus or "belly button". These scars are then removed and the abdomen is contoured.
