Csection Scar and How to get Rid of the Skin Above It? (photo)

May 8, 2012
Asked By:kber

Hello I have had three csections and my last was 8 years ago. I am an extremely fit woman with great abds but I have this skin over the scar can I have it removed or fixed. The scar itself is fine but the skin above it bothers me. Thanks  update: I am quite surprised I may need a mini tummy tuck. My stomach is very flat and I have a six pack so the tuck part is scarey to me. i would love to hear other alternatives to this. I thought i may just have to open the skin and have it pulled again without going into muscle.
