Dear Dr. Seckel, I have a c section scar which looks horrible. There is a flap of skin hanging over the c section scar which makes my tummy bulge and shows under my bathing suit. I want this bulge removed but don’t want a bigger scar and would like to be able to wear a two piece again. I am otherwise very fit. Thank you, Brenda, Boston, Massachusetts.
Dear Brenda,
Thank you for your email. Your complaint is a very common one today and fortunately you can get back into your two piece with a modern mini or bikini tummy tuck procedure. The bikini tuck is a frequent part of the mommy makeover which is very popular today. With modern techniques the tummy tuck or abdominoplasty scar can be hidden under your bikini or swimming suit using the bikini tummy tuck.
Above-Before and After the Bikini Tummy Tuck to Remove C-section Scar
Many people want to have a tummy tuck but don’t want a visible scar. By placing the incision low and following the lines of your bikini, the scar is hidden by most bikinis and today’s brief underwear.
There is no scar on the “belly button” with the bikini tummy tuck.
When the bikini tuck is combined with a breast lift and or breast augmentation it is often called a mommy makeover. A combination breast lift and breast augmentation is shown below:
