Can a tummy tuck remove a surgery scar?

I have a large scar across my abdomen. It’s a very large scar from a previous surgery and I am very insecure about it. Would getting a tummy tuck help to remove it? Or do you have any options for other surgeries that will make it less noticeable?

Remove a previous surgery scar with a tummy tuck

Depending on the location of the scar, a tummy tuck may be able to remove it. Scars located below the belly button are more likely to be removed with a tummy tuck than those above the belly button. A consultation with a plastic surgeon should be able to help you with this. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Dr. D.
