Tummy Tuck option: A tummy tuck, perhaps a mini tuck, is a good option for correcting the skin redundancy which overhangs a c-section scar. However, if sufficient skin laxity exists, a full tummy tuck may be indicated. The costs will vary depending on the extent of the procedure, the anesthesia and the facility. Fees are likely to range from $4-10, 000 accordingly. Insurance is unlikely to cover a tummy tuck.

Yes, non insurance : You may be a candidate for a mini- tummy tuck(abdominoplasty) or a full abdominoplasty. A mini tummy tuck will correct loose skin and tighten the muscle tissue below the belly button. A full abdominoplasty corrects loose skin and tightens the muscle tissue from above the belly button to the ceaserean scar.

Yes: A tummy tuck also know as an abdominoplasty would fix this issue. However, it would not be covered by insurance. Depending on the surgeon prices can range from $4 - $10k.

Tummy wrinkles Rx: Wrinkles on the abdominal skin signify a loss of skin elasticity. This cannot be corrected with liposuction. An abdominoplasty or tummy tuck is the procedure of choice. Here, the damaged in elastic skin is removed and the abdominal wall is tightened through an incision below the bikini line (at the level of your C-section scar or below). Insurance typically does not cover this. Cost $6-9000.

Tummy Tuck: A tummy tuck is a perfect way to get rid of droopy skin on the abdomen after having children especially with a c-section scar. A tummy tuck removes the excess skin flap and also the muscles on your abdomen are tightened to help with muscle laxity. Most women have a tummy tuck once they are finished having children. The cost is around $5000 for a mini-tuck and $7000 for a full tummy tuck.
