5ft6, 132lbs - Can swelling/slight loose skin above c-section scar be corrected? (Photos)

July 30, 2022
Asked By:ChanelGray in England, United Kingdom

I had a C-section delivery 2and half months ago, and have been doing alot of walking and light core exercises, I however can’t seem to get rid of this slight overhang above my scar and I’m not sure if any exercises I do will get rid of that. Can the scar be corrected to reduce the overhang? Or should I do a mini liposuction? I lead a very active lifestyle, I try and work out daily, cardio three times a week. I’m 5’6 and weigh about 132pounds.
