Tummy tuck after c-section
A good portion of that scar would be removed in a tummy tuck or I sometimes even use it to tighten and narrow the waist even more. Watch my video.

Tummy tuck practical with a vertical c-section scar
Yes! but a photo would help us answer more specifically. The plan is to change the vertical scar to a horizontal one if there is enough tissue to be removed.

Tummy tuck works well with vertical c-section scar.

Tummy tuck after vertical C section is possible

Tummy Tuck after C-Section
Yes, an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck after c-section is very useful. You have not posted pictures, so it is impossible to comment specifically on your case.
