C-section/open myomectomy scar help. Would a small amount of Lipo fix this? (photos)

Question

I had an open myomectomy in 2012. Stomach hs weird lumping in fat on the left side. Scar does nt bother me like lumping does-visible in pants/bathing suits on my left side. The right side is flat and is not an issue. Would a small amount of lipo fix this? I don't feel I am a candidate for a tummy tuck because this is not severe. Will child birth make this worse? I know I should wait until after any children before getting fixed. I also do not want large scar that comes along with a tuck.

To improve this you really need a scar revision with liposuction at the same time.  A hi definition procedure would be best.  Dr. Emer.

I think a scar revision will have to be a component although liposuction would probably be very useful adjunct. If the scars anchored to the anterior fascia it's probably best to release the scar in advance the subcutaneous fat to prevent the depression.

I appreciate your concern, but if scar doesn't bother you, then just liposuction with small cannula Should correct unevenness. I think Scar revision would help situation though. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good Luck!

Thanks for the question.  Yes, liposuction would improve the appearance.  A skilled surgeon would also perform scar release and possible fat injection to the scar for an even better result.  Best of luck
