Access point for liposuction
If the surgeon can access the areas that require treatment through an incision in a previous scar, it can be done safely.

Liposuction
Liposuction can be performed through an old c-section scar. Of course, an exam is necessary to confirm that there are no hernias. Liposuction is performed through multiple small incisions that are about 0.5- 1 cm long at most.

Liposuction via C-Section scar
Abdominal liposuction can be performed through the C-section scar. If you also need liposuction of the flanks or sides, sometimes additional, very small incisions will need to be made to achieve the best result.

Liposuction is really almost scarless surgery.
Hi.
Liposuction of the abdomen can certainly be done through a C-section scar. We usually go in through the belly button and use tumescent liposuction, which has the best record of success and safety.

Liposuction and C-section Scars
Liposuction can be done through and around and under a c sec scar to free it up and make it look better. If you can avoid general anesthesia and laser liposuctions then you may get better results since under tumescent local anesthesia with the micro canulas, you can stand up and sit up and see how the scar and the whole area looks to fine tune it to get the best results.

Liposuction via previous C section Scar?
Thank you for the question.
Yes, liposuction surgery can be done through a previous C-section scar. Other scars present may also be used. The surgeon must be careful to make sure there are no hernias associated with the scars prior to using them for the liposuction surgery.
Sometimes, it is also possible to “hide” tummy tuck incisions adjacent to tattoos, natural folds or moles.
I hope this helps.

Liposuction via C-section Scar
Dear Crutchster1:
Thank you for the question. Liposuction can be performed through just about any scar, including the C-section scar. This approach allows access to the abdominal wall, flanks and thigh fat. Additional small scars may or may not be necessary to get the best result possible.
This is true in other areas of the body too. Often people seeking liposuction of the neck have a scar under the jaw from childhood. I can use this for their liposuction. See Video.

Yes i have performed liposuction thru a C section scar many times. Most patients want me to revise the scar as well. Easy enough to do .
Make sure you go to a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon!
