C-section Scar and Tummy Tuck Scar. Do They Look the Same?

SanDiego2000005
I had a c-section about 9 months ago, and my scar is still really red, raised, and uneven. I remember right after my c-section I could feel my skin above and below the sutures overlapping. My question is will my tummy tuck scar be same way or will the scar be a thin line with no raised areas?
