Can Liposuction remove scar tissue from a c-section c-shelf?

ashleyhtims
I had lipo done about 18 months ago on my full abdomen. Unfortunately the fat has grown back directly over my c-section scar. The doctor wants to go in through my pubic mound to break down the scar tissue and lipo out the newly grown fat. I can’t find anything online that says this is feasible. Do you have any experience with something like that working (removing the scar tissue underneath the c-shelf so it is no longer indented and fat doesn’t pile up above it?) Thank you!
