C-Section Incision Vs a TT Incision?

During a c-section, your ob/gyn cuts through your entire andominal wall and into your uterus to deliver your baby. During a tummy tuck, we cut through the abdominal wall to the level of the covering of the muscles. It is not as deep of a cut. We can usually remove the old c-section scars as well during the procedure, leaving you with a fine line scar hidden low under your panty line. Check out the example below of a c-section scar removed.

An abdominoplasty incision extends through the skin and fat to the abdominal wall. A C-section incision also cuts through the abdominal wall to gain access to the uterus.
