I had 2 c-sections, Hysterectomy and Appendix removed. My c-section scar and Appendix scar left an indented scar. I would like to know if they can be removed or fixed?

Answer: Tummy tuck Dear Rational278015, based on your photos, you look like a good candidate for a TT. Full tummy tuck should tighten your abdominal muscles and remove the excess skin. Flanks liposuction would give you a better shape. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon because only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Can my indented c-section & appendix scar be removed/fixed? Thank you for your pictures and questions. With the tethering and contour deformity of the scar combined with the amount of skin excess and laxity you have, the ideal solution would be a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). This would not only allow you to completely remove the previous scars but would also remove a significant amount of skin and recontour the shape and appearance of the mid-section. Make sure you find a local plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery! Dallas Buchanan, MD VIVIFY plastic surgery Tampa, FL
