The claim a reader may hear about a mommy makeover is that the scars will be hidden. The published guidance is more specific, and this page sets it beside a second source so you can test what a proposal promises.
What the published guidance says
The Aesthetic Society says your incisions will vary based on the combination of post-pregnancy procedures you get. For a tummy tuck, also called abdominoplasty, it says the incisions stretch from hip to hip just above the pubic area. It adds that this leaves a scar that falls along the natural crease within the bikini line.
The society also says you will likely have scars hidden in your bikini line or under your bra. Notice the word likely. It leaves room for exceptions, and a quote that promises hidden scars with no qualifier has dropped it.
What a second source adds
MedlinePlus keeps a medical encyclopedia entry on scar revision. Read it for a general description of working on scars that already exist. It does not describe your plan, so use it as a neutral reference for the questions you take back to your surgeon.
The assumption a proposal can hide
A proposal can assume that the incisions are the same whatever combination you choose. The Aesthetic Society says they vary with the combination, so ask where each incision would fall for the exact procedures in your quote. A drawing or description of the planned lines is easier to check than a general promise.
The question to ask at a consultation
Ask where every planned incision would sit, and which of those scars would not be hidden by a bikini or a bra. Compare the answer with what the Aesthetic Society describes, and read its mommy makeover procedure overview before you decide.
