Would a tummy tuck help with scar tissue?

Typically a c-section scar will be excised in the course of a tummy tuck and replaced by a low transverse hip to hip incision.With regards to timing, I would recommend delaying any body contouring until your family is complete unless you are comfortable with likely need for revision afterwards.AS always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

hmmm, were you told by your obstetrician you have a lot of scar tissue ? they are usually then referring to internal scarring around the uterus from the 3 sections. Tummy tuck is a surgery that is limited to superficial to the abdominal wall. After 3 C-sections I suspect you also have external scarring and overhang of skin. This is a the area that is improved by a tummy tuck. Liposuction and tummy tuck will not have any effect on internal scarring and vice versa. However, if you are planning on having more kids you should wait to get the tummy tuck till after childbearing is complete.Good Luck !

Thanks so much for reaching out. Yes a tummy tuck would be a very good option in clearing out the scarring and scar tissue from prior C-sections. However if you're planning on having another baby I would wait until after you were done with your pregnancy to schedule a tummy tuck. I hope this helps :-) 

Hello and thank you for your question.   A tummy tuck can remove all the scar tissue from previous c-sections.  It advisable that you wait until you are done having children prior to a tummy tuck.  When the time is right for surgery, a tummy tuck can be done through a low and short
incision, all completely below the bikini line. 
The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on
the exterior.   Your muscles can also be
plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. 
Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of
real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate
their results.  The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

A revision of the c-section scar would likely be helpful and adding a tummy tuck with liposuction will help the overall contour. If you are thinking of additional pregnancies, I recommend you wait. No reason to go through the surgery and have the result compromised with the effects of pregnancy. Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. A tummy tuck procedure will remove the scar tissue that is located above your abdominal muscles. I, however, do not recommend having one until you are completely finished with having children. Having 3 C-sections, you also have scar tissue on your uterus. Having more than 3 c-section may increase the risk of uterine rupture. I recommend speaking to your OB in regards to your pregnancy risk. When you are ready to move forward with your tummy tuck I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon for your tummy tuck.

A c-section often causes scar tissue internally along the muscle fascia closure,  and of course at the skin closure site. The tummy tuck procedure can be done after a c-section and will "work around" the internal scar tissue.

Thank you for your question. During TT previous C section scar can be removed. If you are planning to have another baby I recommend you to wait.

Hello dear!!

Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 

The combination of a liposuction with a traditional tummy tuck has become a very common procedure. It is safe to combine the two procedures mainly to address the hip and flank areas. This is a very effective way to extenuate the contour of the waist along with the abdominoplasty. It is also important to realize that there is usually a limit on how much fat can be remove in a combined procedure. In you personal case it is important an in person evaluation to determinate if the c- section scar can be removed with the tummy tuck.
In general you may be a good tummy tuck and liposuction candidate if:

You are physically healthy and at a stable weight

You have realistic expectations

You are a non-smoker

You are bothered by the appearance of your abdomen.

 I recommend to book a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss the best options for your goals. Good luck :)
