The best thing to do is to ask the surgeon to do the tummy tuck, and then sew you up with the scar in the shape of a six pack. Good luck, and congratulations!

Being younger, your scarring will fade better than, say, someone middle aged. Some people also generate more scar tissue (keloids) than others for a given injury or surgery. So, it's difficult to say to what extent your scarring will be or how long it will take to fade (if it ever does).
You can build a 6-pack. If your doctor is good, he/she will do some liposuction in your abdominal area and set up the foundation for a flat 6-pack once all of the healing is done.
My wife had a tummy tuck to repair some surgery scars that were pretty rough. The scars from the tummy tuck were better, but still obvious. So, a couple years later, she got a tattoo over the scar that looks kinda like branches with leaves and flowers. Now you can't even tell she had a tummy tuck.

I know how you feel coz I had passed that stage, lucky for me ! I would highly recommend Diamond Dermabrasion which is 100% safe and sure to reduce the sight of scars . It's 100% painless too if you don't have any acne or pimples during the time of treatment and would normally take 4-6 sessions depending on the patient's case . But not to worry about the slight sting on your skin during treatment coz it would diminish immediately after the process . Although quite pricey, normal cost is between S$200 -S$250 per session the effect is astonishing and your skin would be supple like a baby's skin . But you need to avoid the damaging rays of sunlight for a while to maintain the beauty of your new look.

the scar will always be there... but they put it really low... down at the hair line of your pubic hair... so even the skimpiest speedo will hide it.
It will fade over time to be barely noticeable.
Yes, you should be able to get a six pack if you have burned off enough fat stores, and the skin has been "re-tightened" from a tummy tuck.

the tummy tuck scar going hip to hip will always remain ( hopefully fade in time)
some people never attain the 6 pack abs defined look

6pack is definitely possible! the scar will always be there, but it will fade with time...and not sure about you, but i'd rather have the scar and a 6pack than the loose skin!! congrats on your weight loss!!!!!!
you can also put mederma or vitamin e oil on the scar right from the beginning to help.

scar will always be there but will lessen in redness with time, yes you can achieve a 6 pack after, you can actually have one without the operation as well

you will have a scar but it is according to the doctor and the work he/she does and how well it goes. if there is a scar there is a cream you can get to redue it. ask a doctor about it for more info. sorry if not helpful
