I'm about to have my 3rd c section, my 1st scar was amazing 3 ins long-done in UK. The 2nd one done here was done 2mm above the first scar and around 1 inch longer each side and I was left with a 'pouch' above which no matter how much exercise I did I couldn't get rid of it and I'm only 8 stone so it wasn't fat. So with this one I want to find an ob/gyne who will remove this pouch and both scars and leave me with one neat scar, has anyone had this done and is it possible? My dr said she would only go through one of the existing scars, so now I'm looking for other drs who may be willing to remove the old one? Why do they cut above the original one, I really don't understand. It's only 2mm so it should be in theory quite easy to cut both and join them up. Ive heard lots of talk about this being easily done but I couldn't tell you what obs/gyn will do it apart from by the sounds of it Dr Sima Delangi - who Bianca72 mentions below but I understand you can't go to medcare by the sounds of it.... Maybe you put another thread on here or just call around and ask to speak to the obs/gyn before paying for wasted appointments where they will obviously insist on scanning and testing you at the same time!

Thanks faifunghi, it's really difficult to find out this type of information without going to see each and every dr, and then it's $$$ for each and every appointment, was really hoping to find someone on here who recommends a dr who does this out here. Anyone else? Simpsons, scroll down on this thread. I think you may be referring to the earlier posts from Bianca72? I had 2 c-sections both done by the same dr here in Dubai (Dr. Ulrich Honemeyer at Welcare Hospital). I couldnt be happier. My scar is hardly visible, he cut into the same line both times. Recovery was quick and my scar is hardly visible and have no pouch which I have seen my SIL's have after their multiple c-secstions. Good luck... Thanks ss123, however it was definitely a different thread I read it on. I think the dr Bianca 72 used is only delivering at medcare from what I can find out.

Make sure you find a Dr. who has done this kind of surgery before. Or, better, if your ob/gyn has a sub-specialty in plastics or can bring in a plastic surgeon. Had the dreaded c-section overhang after my first, but had a lovely Ob at home who brought in a plastic surgeon to fix it all after the c-section birth of my 3rd. Make them show you photos and give you references. Its painful enough without being disappointing too. Now- small scar (about 4" above the bikini line) and no overhang, but I did my due diligence on both doctors for it. Good luck!

Not sure if this is really allowed. You hear of Hollywood stars having this done but in practice I am not sure it happens........I might be wrong of course. I don't think it would be classed as a mini tummy tuck, I just remember reading on here one of the ladies said she had some extra skin removed on her 3rd c section and scar neatened up etc...can't find the thread though so don't know which dr it was! Hoping said lady will come forward and shed some light!

Nobbles, how long ago did you have the op as the scar could shrink. My scar was around 8 inches but shrunk to 3. Although now i'm pregnant you can see the 8 inch line again.. Stayed big and then of course having c-section number two didn't help!

two c-sections (3years ago and then 12 months ago) performed in Dubai by the same Doctor. Used the same scar which is barely visable now 3 inches long and very low. First C-section was and emergency and second on medical grounds. As others have said, recovery second time is much easier. Good Luck and try not to worry too much! Thanks Shella. Can I ask what Dr you used. My experience and recovery was great for the first, so it's good to hear so many women say it's even better with the second. Dr Christian Josza. He was at The American Hospital but has moved to Healthbay Clinic on Al Wasl. Delivers at City Hospital Now. I have stuck with him despite the move and 100% will have him for future pregnancy (if he is still in Dubai!!), which because of medical problems would have to be another c-section. Great thanks.

Mine started were the first one did then veered off ? but it was the smae lenght, I really stuggled the first time with recovery and second time was much easier apart from a mystery fever which kept me in longer but in general, the pain seemed much more managable than the first time.

Mine are one above the other....grrrr..... Was there a medical reason for that, do you know why? hehe, I do not know. They cut the 2nd one too low......heyho...we all lived to tell the tale and my stomach was a mess with scars before they got to it. Thanks. I'm sure it seems much worse to you than it really is. My scar is pretty low and leaves a bump.

Thank you for your replies, it's really making me wonder now but I'm pleased I researched this now. Bianca72 and Agent Oso please could you tell me what obsterican you used and where. Mine was Dr. Sima Deghani, she is at Medwin Clinic (Jum 3) and uses Medcare hospital for births. Thank you Bianca72, did Dr Sima do both ops? How was your recovery? She did my 3rd c-section (I had the others in US and the Netherlands) and she cut away the scar during the operation. Recovery was quick and painless. Better than the other two. Not sure why though. Was up and 'running' after 3 days. Thank you so much for the info. Very helpful.
