I have had the same scar already opened 3 times...the first to remove a cyst on my uterus in 2012, and the other 2 times were c sections. I want to get a tummy tuck but I'm afraid that if they open the same scar a fourth time it may not heal. The last c section I had to go on antibiotics because of an infection and the scar wasn't closing up as easily in certain parts as it did the first 2 times.

Answer: Reopen C-Section Scar for TT I make the scar as low as possible so that it can be concealed. The tummy tuck can frequently be placed much lower than is seen in many after pics. The incision is generally made about 5 to 6 cm above the vulvar commissure. This is usually below the superior border of the pubic hair. Healing is not entirely predictable, but previous well appearing scars are indicators of healing.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
