Typically, is the abdominal fascia cut during a c-section? If so, can it be repaired during a tummy tuck?

I have a "shelf" of skin directly above my c-section & from what I understand it is a result of muscles being cut from surgery, and internal adhesions from scar tissue. Can this be repaired w/a full tummy tuck? Im 5' & 110 lbs.
