Tummy tucks work best for scar removal below the belly button

Charles Perry, MD answers: Tummy Tuck for butt-like stomach?

I had two children by c-section. My obgyn decided to cut me from my bellybutton down to my pubic bone. I look as if I have a butt instead of a stomach.

Would I require a Tummy tuck or is there something simpler? It affects my self image tremedously. I'm very embarrassed because of it. My weight is about 130lbs. I'm 5'4" tall.

I would agree with all of the other comments.  I would like to echo their thoughts in that a tummy tuck would be trading incisional locations and not removing it however you could also gain some of your figure back as well by tightening the abdominal wall.  How very exciting to get your figure back.  Good luck!
