Hi...samanth..,
Tummy tuck scar with old age having loose fascia, causing a bulge,
Yet they do not want or need a hip to hip incision.
For those patients, a Hybrid tummy tuck (TM) may offer a solution:
full fascial tightening, revision of the C section with a moderate removal of skin,
will give good result.,
no umbilical incision.
Because the umbilicus is tethered naturally,
specialized endoscopic equipment are need....
