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?

Answer: Tummy tuck Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a better candidate for tummy tuck than for scar revision or even liposuction alone. This procedure will give you the best chance to achieve a flatter stomach with a more contoured torso. I hope this helps.

Answer: Tummy tuck with mesh The best technique for you would be abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight.

Answer: Scar revision or tummy tuck? Could I get a good result with scar revision alone if I focus on improving my core? ( Thank you for your question and series of photographs. Nothing replaces an in-person examination, but I think you would most benefit from a full tummy tuck and liposuction of your waist and flanks. The tummy tuck will tighten your stomach muscles, helping to achieve a flatter appearance, while removing excess skin and adipose tissue. Liposuction can be used to enhance your tummy tuck results by narrowing your waist and removing isolated areas of diet and exercise resistant fat. I would favor the full approach because it appears that your skin and muscle laxity is present above and below your belly button. Hope that this helps
