I do have the “c section pouch” above my scar and I’m wondering what kind of procedure I would need to remove it (photo)

SarahR1554
I’ve had 3 children, the first was via emergency c section. I’m at a healthy weight (125 lbs and I’m 5’2”) and my c section scar is barely noticeable. I do have the “c section pouch” above my scar and I’m wondering what kind of procedure I would need to remove it, if I could possibly do a more non-invasive procedure vs a full on surgical one.
