I Had 2 C Sections. One in 2010 and One in 2012. With the second c section I had a small bulge on the cut self. Now it is bigger. Can it be that my muscle torn loose on the c section? I did see a doctor, doctor looked at me and told me I have a hernia. No examinations. Can it be fixed with tummy tuck

Answer: Buldge following C section
This could be a hernia or just fat and loose skin. A tummy tuck would address all of these issues. In a tummy tuck, the excess skin and fat are removed and all hernias are repaired.The fascia is also tightened with permanent sutures. It is quite common to have a buldge above a C section scar because of the scar tissue.

Answer: Could Bulge On C-Section Scar Be Torn Muscle?
Dear Marie,
Thank you for your question. In a c-section, the muscles are seperated, and then sutured back together. A hernia in this area is called an incisional hernia, as it came from an incision. It can be repaired during a TT by either re-suturing the area, or by placement of a mesh or dermal matrix reinforcement.
