Could my c-section shelf be corrected with a mini tuck and liposuction? (photos)

The c-section scar can be corrected with a mini tummy tuck and liposuction. A full tummy tuck would be better but you should be able to get by with a mini tummy tuck and liposuction.

Best Wishes,

Hi jlewis84,
Removing the skin and soft tissue "shelf" and a little liposuction are a good option for the outer tissue layers but will not address the abdominal muscle wall laxity that arises after multiple pregnancies (and can exist in slender/non-overweight patients). Unfortunately still pics don't help entirely as the best way to assess for this laxity is an in-person examination (when you tighten and relax the rectus & oblique muscles)- your surgeon may recommend muscle tightening too. The new scar can be positioned slightly lower to remove the Csection scar altogether. Good luck!-Dr. Doolabh
