Is a tummy tuck scar worth it?

Hi ladies. Thank you for being so positive and helpful. It is refreshing to see women being so supportive of one another. I am naturally very petite, but unfortunately had rapid weight gain due to a medication I was taking. It was stubborn weight and I had a hard time losing it, thus decided to undertake liposuction. WORST decision of my life. Botched job completely! My stomach is uneven and pockets of fat were left. I have had a consultation with a much more reputable PS and he states that a tummy tuck could fix this problem. I have since then lost some weight, so when I wear clothes I look okay, like I do not have a problem. However,  when the clothes come off.. I do not have a waist line, my stomach is uneven, there's loose skin, and my lower belly has a pooch (especially when sitting). To me this is horrifying. I would never wear a two piece bathing suit looking the way I look, nor form fitting clothes. But then again, I do not think I would wear a bikini sporting a giant scar across my belly. For the ladies that have had a TT, how great are the results? Is the trade off worth the scar? What would you advise in  my situation. I need help deciding! My surgery date is scheduled for 11/13. I am going to meet with my PS and his colleague on Tuesday for a second opinion (since my PS knows I am uneasy), and meet one last time 11/1 for a re-evaluation and pre-op. Thank you for taking the time to view my post and for your comments. :)
