I had a c-section with my second-born almost 9-years ago and while my waist and stomach gets smaller with healthy eating and exercise, my belly still hangs over the bikini-line incision scar. I want to know if laser-lipo will help.
Answer: Laser Liposuction for belly hanging over c-section (or other surgical) scar Laser liposuction is a great option for unwanted fat in the abdomen, especially for belly pooches in general or fat bulges that hang over any type of abdominal surgical scars (c-section, gall bladder, appendix scars, etc). It is important that the physician is experienced in dealing with scars and removing excessive fat deposits around the scar. It is also very important that the entire abdomen has liposuction from the rib area through to the c-section scar or pubic bone. When a complete abdominal laser liposuction is performed, clients are very pleased with the full effect of fat pad removal with decreased size and smoothness of results. If only a partial laser liposuction is performed on the abdomen (ie spot treatment), remaining fat anywhere in the abdomen can enlarge from only a few pound weight gain. This will give very unpleasing results with apparent lumpiness and/or fullness in the area that did not have the procedure performed.

Answer: Would laser lipo help with my overhang post c-sec belly? Hello, Thank you for your question. I agree with the majority of the other responses recommend a tummy tuck to help you achieve your body ideal. From your photos, it appears you do not have a lot of body fat (arms and legs), it is likely that your abdominal protrusion is largely due to muscle laxity (relaxed state) and loose skin. A tummy tuck would resolve both of these issues, leaving you with flatter abdomen. Best wishes, Dr. Moein

Answer: Tummy tuck for flatter belly Since you already have a c section scar, best results would be via a tummy tuck. This will also flatten your belly from the inside- which laser liposuction cannot.An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss your options and expectations.

Answer: Tummy tuck is a better option I don't think liposuction alone would give you a result you would be happy with. You would probably benefit more from having a tummy tuck as well.

Answer: Skin laxity Hello there! Laser liposuction will not remove or tighten your skin to the extent that you probably need. I would recommend meeting with a plastic surgeon to discuss surgical options (tummy tuck). Good luck! Sarah RN BSN
