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.
Answer: C-Section Pouch Above Scar. What is Best Treatment Options for this problem depend on overall abdominal skin laxity and patient preference.

Answer: Procedure recommendation Thank you for your question! Based on your photos, I recommend a tummy tuck. This procedure will completely remove the scar from the c-section, in addition to the excess skin and fat to your abdomen. I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon, who can create a personalized plan for you. Best of luck!

Answer: C-section pouch above scar Hi, thanks for your photos and your question. This type of fullness above the scar is common after some c-section incisions so you are definitely not alone. This is one reason why various “mommy makeover“ procedures exist. There are actually multiple options from as simple as an in-office scar revision to as comprehensive as a full tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). There are also hybrid procedures (at least 2) that are still surgical but less involved. It would be best for you to have an in-person assessment to determine what is right for you, based on your anatomy and your goals for outcome and recovery.

Answer: Wanting to get rid of the c-section pouch Thank you for posting your question. Typically a c-section pouch will not improve significantly with non-surgical treatments. A mini tummy tuck or full tummy tuck can effectively remove redundant skin in this region. If you seek a consult with a plastic surgeon they will be able to discuss the most appropriate options.
