My c-section scar still burns and hurts after 7 years. Will a tummy tuck help or worsen this? Will insurance pay?

cassiamyers
I've had 2 c-sections, my last 7 years ago. I have a decent amount of sagging and overhang skin. I understand there is a surgery to cut out scar tissue, but in wonder if a tummy tuck would make more sense? If so, will insurance cover it if it's aiding the reduction of pain due to my c section? I'd hate to get 2 surgeries. Is there any circumstance that an insurance company will cover a tummy tuck?
