Abdominoplasty fat and skin removal after pregnancy: the process of tummy tuck after c section?
Tummy tuck after a Cesarean section is exactly the same as a surgery without C-section. The only difference is a C-section scar, if it’s a transverse scar, is actually the same incision. So that scar is removed and another scar replaces it. If somebody has had an incision made up-and-down...
