Is this a problem? I have had a cyst surgery and a ovarian cancer surgery (LMP).  Anyone know if this would be an issue?

I had a scar from my navel down as a result of surgery in 1978 for non-Hodkin's lymphoma.  As a result of the tummy tuck, that scar is all gone.

I had 2 previous female surgeries that left scare tissue down the center of my abdomen (emergency c-section) and around my belly button. 

I had a tummy tuck (among other things) and the scar tissue was not an issue for me at all.

The only "problems" my surgeon mentioned regarding my scar tissue was when I had my touch-up lipo done to my abdomen.  I had it done with locals (awake during it with numbing shots/fluid in the abdomen).  He said the scar tissue can make the locals less effective in that area - making it where you feel more.

Wendy - I thought it was a head trip when I was awake for my lasik - but being awake for lipo just made me shudder and squeal! I even had to explain why to hubby!
You are a strong lady I would have WIGGED out! Haha!
