Tummy tuck after c-section (cut was vertical, not bikini)? (Photo)

Thanks so much for your question,
Having had a vertical c-section incision rather than a horizontal one may influence the approach your plastic surgeon takes for a tummy tuck. Vertical c-section scars tend to be more challenging to incorporate into the tummy tuck incision, but it's still possible to perform the procedure.

During your consultation with a plastic surgeon, they will assess your abdominal area, including the scar from the c-section, and discuss the best approach for your tummy tuck. They may need to adjust the incision placement to accommodate the existing scar and achieve the desired results.

Sincerely,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol

Hi there,
Yes, it is safe based on your timeline to have a tummy tuck, you will still need evaluated and have the proper pre-op workup.
The tummy tuck will leave a scar, however it will be very fine line and easily hidden in the bikini line.
Regarding your current vertical scar. Most, if not all, of this scar will get removed with your tummy tuck. The exact amount depends on the persons skin elasticity.
All the best,
