Tummy tuck or mini tummy tuck to fix scar and overhang? (photo)

January 30, 2025
Asked By:gonzam54 in Jacksonville, Florida

Hi I’m 8 m postpartum from 1st pregnancy/c-section and have concerns about my stuck scar. I also have diastasis but I am hoping I can heal that with exercise over the next few of months. My scar however has not been responding to months of massage/cupping. The fold/lip/ overhang really bothers me. I don’t have much fat or excess skin. Assuming that I fix my DR with exercise, can the scar be fixed with a mini tummy tuck or some other less invasive approach? Or would it require a full tummy tuck?
