Tummy Tuck Through C-section Scar, Is This Possible?

August 9, 2013
Asked By:Kristin C.

I'm in the process of considering getting a tummy tuck and possibly a breast augmentation. I'm not ready (financially) to get it done just yet but I'm looking into several surgeons in my area. I have had two children via c-section. My scar is very low, lower than a lot of post op photo's I've seen of tummy tucks. Can that scar be used to do a tummy tuck? I'm aware that the length of the scar would need to be longer but I want the scar to be as low as possible, right where my c section scar is.
