Dear Dr. Seckel, Can you tell me what the bikini tuck is? I have had two kids, I am 38 and very fit. However I cannot get rid of the excess skin on my tummy. I run, work out and do abdominal exercises but that role above my bikini won’t go away. Please help, Cindy, Boston, Massachusetts.
Dear Cindy,
The bikini tuck or bikini tummy tuck is a modified abdominoplasty which places the scar in a position which is hidden when you wear a bikini. The results are excellent and you can still wear a bikini when you go to the beach after your tummy tuck.
Above-Before and after Bikini Tuck Abdominoplasty.
The bikini tuck works best when there is small to moderate skin excess of the lower abdomen. The bikini tuck also works well when you have a C-Section scar.
Many people want to have a tummy tuck but don’t want a visible scar. By placing the incision low and following the lines of your bikini, the scar is hidden by most bikinis and today’s brief underwear.
There is no scar on the “belly button” with the bikini tummy tuck.
