Can cosmetic surgery fix a scar on my tummy from a previous operation?

Depends: It depends on the size, location, and severity of the scar. I recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon who could help you determine the best course of treatment for you.

Possibly: While scar revision may reduce the width of scars it is unlikely that the length of the scar can be reduced.

Improve: Fix, erase, eliminate, disappear are good words to avoid using in discussions about plastic surfery.

Lessen: The human body heals by scarring, so every time an incision is made in the skin the body will heal with a scar. Plastic surgeons use techniques to minimize what a scar might look like. However, a big factor in how a scar ultimately appears is the individual patient's genetics.

Yes: It is not uncommon for a mini tummy tuck to be used to correct an unsightly horizontal c-section scar or to use a full tummy tuck to completely remove an undesireable vertical c-section scar.

Sometimes.: Depending on the nature of the previous scar, scar revision surgery or tummy tuck surgery may be helpful. Given that every patient situation's is different, in person consultation and a full communication of goals as well as risks/complications is necessary. Best wishes.

Improvement likely: Scars can never be removed completely but there are many options to improve them. Often abdominal scars are removed with a tummy tuck, but there will be a new and hopefully not noticeable one along the bikini line. See an experienced plastic surgeon for advice about your personal concerns since each case is different.

Abd/scar/repair: Most likely. But only in person examination allows a response to type of surgery...
