2 c-sections; Last one was 5 years ago. I want to lose the overhang but do not want anything invasive like a TT or lipo. A scar revision has been suggested. My priority is minimal recovery time. Any thoughts based on my pics or your recovery process with this scar revision?

Answer: Scar Dear mama38, Based on your photos and history, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. However, if you don't want a tummy tuck, then scar revision and liposuction might provide some improvement. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: C section scar treatments, tummy tuck, liposuction, Renuvion Dear Alberta,Although a mini tummy tuck and scar revision of the tethered down scar would be the gold standard answer to help you out, the healing of the scar would be 6 weeks, and no lifting more than 5 lbs. Your new norm weighs more than that, so you’d need lots of Help.Minimal invasive procedures with removing the scar teathering, Liposuction and Renuvion skin tightening would only require small dot incisions and could give nice results, without the lifting restrictions, in my experience.Congratulations on your baby!Dr KristineBrecht Seattle, Wa
