Asked By:Amber's Body in Portland, Oregon

Hello, I'm 38f, 5'5 and 170lbs. I'm currently losing weight and getting back to my normal BMI after gaining weight this past year. I never had children, however I had an emergency ectopic pregnancy and lost an ovary and fallopian tube ten years ago. Because of that surgery I have a cesarian scar, but I don't know if that means I require muscle repair. It's important to me to have a smooth look. Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!
