Pictures of PAP breast reconstruction seem to vary with the donor scar location. Some are right under/at the buttock crease but others are at inches down. If you've had PAP tissue reconstruction, how far down are your scars from the bottom of your buttock creases? I would really rather not have scars going across the back of my thighs (not hidden in the buttock crease).

    outdoorsy- most surgeons routinely place their scars in one area or another (same for DIEP flap). They rarely seem to deviate from that unless there are extenuating circumstances. Likely has to do with which method they were trained on. The before and after photos will tell you s lot as you will see a pattern.
