Can a Tummy Tuck Be Carried out After Four C-sections?

Many women have abdominoplasties after C sections.  The total number makes no difference.  The scar resulting from these deliveries is removed with the skin and fat of the tummy tuck. 

It is possible to have a tummy tuck after having had four C-sections.  There may be a moderate amount of scar tissue in the area between your pubic bone and your belly button (umbilicus) however this should not compromise the tummy tuck surgery.  The surgeon must take special care in dissecting the scar tissue away from the underlying abdominal muscle/fascia. Then, the muscles need to be tightened (plicated) which will give a flatter appearing abdominal contour.

Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon prior to scheduling a tummy tuck procedure.
