Scar revision or tummy tuck? Could I get a good result with scar revision alone if I focus on improving my core? (Photo)

Asked By:BSJ2 in Scotland, United Kingdom

I'm 41, BMI is 23. I have had 1 pregnancy and my family is complete. My C Section scar is messy/lumpy - I had a haematoma, and the wound took 3 months to heal by secondary intention. I would like to have the scar revised, but I am wondering about a tummy tuck too. If I focus on improving my core, and shifting some more belly fat, could I still get a good result with a scar revision alone? Or would I need to look at getting a Tummy Tuck to achieve a flatter tummy?
