The location of the abdominal incision varies between patients based on location of the perforators needed for the reconstruction. High perforators (generally above the umbilicus) result in a high scar, where’s lower perforators can allow for planning of a lower scar. In general, the scar is slightly higher than the location of a true ‘tummy tuck’ scar. In some cases the scar can be lowered as a secondary procedure at time of revision.
