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.
Answer: Csection Scar and How to get Rid of the Skin Above It?
Need better photos posted. But at least mini tummy tuck is in order. Seek in person evaluations to determine the surgery you need.

Answer: Removing Extra Skin Above a C-section Scar If you have a flat stomach, as you say, and the picture confirms, then no muscle/fascia repair is needed. The length of the scar will depend entirely on how much extra skin is present above the C-section scar. Women with a relatively small flap of loose skin above the C-section scar have this removed under local anesthesia in the office operating room. You can call this a mini-abdominoplasty, since it is a minimal operation on the lower abdomen, but in the case here, would not involve muscle tightening.

Answer: Skin Removal, only option. Your picture suggests the presence of a small amount of excess skin that overhangs your C-section scar.Unfortunately, the only way to correct this problem is to remove the excess skin, and this usually always requires a mini-abdominoplasty.This procedure removes excess skin and tightens the lower abdomen.It can be combined with tightening of the underlying muscles and liposuction to the upper abdomen if this proves to be necessary. If you’re considering this type of procedure, it’s important to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon who can perform a physical examination.This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic concerns and achieves your aesthetic goals.

Answer: C-section scar You are one or the rare cases where a mini-tummy tuck is indicated. The will help tighten the slack skin hanging over the scar and smooth out the contour. Recovery is not nearly as involved as a full tummy tuck. Thanks for sharing.

Answer: C-section scars
As a scar heals, it tends to contract downward. This can lead to a depressed scar which can, by extension, make the surrounding tissue look fuller. It is difficult to tell from your picture if this is the case. With most c-section scars, the options would be to revise the scar itself, possibly with a small mini-tummy tuck to pull down any excess skin +/- a little bit of liposuction in the area. A doctor examining you in person will be in a better position to advise you on which would work best for you.
