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.

Answer: Tummy tuck after pregnancy You are an excellent candidate for an abdominoplasty. The surgery will significantly improve the shape of your belly. The scar from your belly button down will also be removed during surgery. You will need an examination prior to surgery to make sure you are a healthy candidate. Once that is complete, you should strongly consider abdominoplasty. Good luck.

Answer: Tummy Tuck for C-section Scar You are a good candidate for a tummy tuck which will likely remove most if not all the vertical scar and all the loose skin that you have. One thing is that your belly button is rather high, so it depends on how much skin you have that is loose above the belly button for me to tell you if we can remove all the skin below your belly button. It appears that you are sucking in on the pictures so it may be possible to remove all the skin below it. Hope that helps. Good luck.
