As a board certified plastic surgeon, I have performed countless tummy tuck procedures and have seen firsthand the satisfaction it brings to my patients. However, there is one common concern that many patients have before undergoing this surgery - the scar that will be left along their abdomen. It's understandable that patients may be hesitant about a procedure that will leave a visible mark on their body. But as with any surgery, it's important to weigh the pros and cons and understand the potential outcomes before making a decision. According to Dr. Ricardo L.
Rodriguez, a board certified plastic surgeon in Baltimore, Maryland, the size and location of the scar will depend on the type of tummy tuck performed. As he explains at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there are different techniques that can be used depending on the patient's individual needs and goals. Dr. Rodriguez is not only certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, but he is also the founder of Ricardo L Rodriguez MD, LLC (DBA Cosmeticsurg) and serves as the medical director of Cosmetic Surgery Facility, LLC - both of which are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
