Can I get this scar removed without doing a mini tummy tuck? (Photos)

Question

I have had 3 kids and 2 via C-section! I’m relatively thin and happy with my body but I absolutely hate the bump in my lower abdomen due to my C-section scar! Can I do anything to make my stomach flatter by eliminating the bump with any kind of tummy tuck?

Dear Cole011903,
a mini tummy tuck is great if you are just looking to flatten the skin below the belly button. It does nothing for the skin above the belly button. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
