A member asked:
I have a previous vertical external csection incision, would it be an easier recovery to have them do a bikini incision this time?

Maybe: If you have a transverse skin incision this time, then you'll have an inverted 't'. If you are overweight, i wouldn't recommend that as the manner by which you will scar will likely not be appealing to you, . If you are normal weight then talk to your doctor about transverse incision. Recovery, pain wise, is about the same vertical versus transverse.
