These stories are scary as they create a contrast. For example, 'I lay down to be tucked in. A cold hand reached from under the covers.' The normal act of getting tucked in is juxtaposed with a very abnormal and frightening event. Our minds are not expecting something bad in that situation, so it catches us off - guard and scares us more easily.
A common 'tummy tuck horror story' is when the scarring is much worse than expected. After the surgery, instead of a faint line that could be easily hidden, the patient was left with a thick, raised, and very visible scar. This made the person self - conscious and regretful of the whole tummy tuck decision. They had to try various scar treatments, but the results were not satisfactory, and they were constantly worried about how to hide it in public.
