Do you reopen the same c section scar for a tummy tuck and if so is it ok if it's already been opened 3 times before?

Thank you for your question. We do not use the c-section scar as the incision for a tummy tuck. I personally place the incision  low at the pubic bone level which is below a C -section scar, which is removed. A lot of women have C-section scars, as plastic surgeons face this issue often. See a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in advanced body sculpting techniques for an in person consultation/evaluation. Good luck.

Many women undergoing tummy tuck surgery have a c-section scar. The tummy tuck incision is generally made just below the C-section scar and the C-section scar is removed along with the excess abdominal tissues. A new tummy tuck incision replaces the C-section scar. Dr. B

Thanks for your question!We always resect abdominal scars when possible as part of a tummy tuck.  For c-section scars that is just about 100% of the time.I hope this helps!
