After my first c section I had bad keloid scarring and so I had the doctor use a steroid shot for my second to reduce the scarring, but now this area is Much larger than last time and probably 80% numb. What can be done to make it smaller or completely flatten it?

Answer: What can be done to flatten my c-section pooch? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. As it appears that your C-section scar is well-healed the only way to remove the excess skin is through an excision procedure like a tummy tuck. This will help tighten your abdominal muscles while removing as many of the stretch marks as possible. Be sure to see an ASPS board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to discuss.

Answer: Addressing the C-section pooch Thank you for your question and for sharing your photo. I would recommend that you consider a tummy tuck procedure. There are several different types of tummy tucks, and I believe you benefit from both a mini-tummy tuck or a floating belly button approach. Both techniques allow for no scars around the belly button. The floating belly button approach allows for more muscle tightening underneath which contributes to a flatter and more toned belly button. I often add liposuction to further flatten the abdomen. I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for a consultation.
