I posted this and was told it is hard to help me with out pictures. So I am posting pictures of the loose skin. One is of me just standing straight and another is of me slightly bent over. I am in good shape and nice tone. but the skin is still loose. It is above my scar and a little bit of skin on the stomach as well. I do work outs everyday, due to fire fighter training.

Hanging C-section scar
You have several options ranging from a full TT, to a mini TT, to just a scar revision and maybe a little liposuction.

But if all you care about is the roll you can just do a scar revision.
