caesarian ops.

[Mags22]

how big a scar would a caesarian operation leave?

[LoftyLottie]

Generally a very slim scar below the bikini line. Barely visible.

Mine went wrong, (but it was nearly 30 years ago!!)

[ummmm]

They are tiny now compared to what the used to be.

[woofgang]

that depends on when it was done (how long ago) size of baby and expertise of surgeon.

Two c.section and one ectopic scar navel to pubic bone almost forty years ago. Barely visible and tummy flat as a pancake soon after. Hysterectomy twenty five years ago. Requested another up and down cut and surgeon agreed. Then clown proceeded to do a bikini line cut. Like lottie`s it went wrong and now have a lop-sided wibbly-wobbly tummy. IMO and experience muscles work better to flatten tummy with up and down cut.

[LoftyLottie]

I now have a lopsided wibbly wobbly tummy too. They tried to put in right with lipo suction, etc. on the National Health because it was their fault, but I ended up with an even more lopsided wibbly wobbly tummy and an incisional hernia, which I have to live with.

Most are fine though I believe.

[gness]

Do you think Lottie that the wibbly woobly tum comes from fewer and weaker muscles in that area? You probably had slower healing as I did with it going wrong. The side where I had the problem is the side that wibble wobbles.

[Sqad]

woofgang is correct.

[lollyone]

Mine is a very fine line about 5 inches long just below bikini line. It is barely visible 3 years on.

[gness]

Expertise of surgeon for sure. My first three were done by the same chap and were excellent. The fourth was a bit of an odd-ball. He refused to come and speak to me afterwards saying I couldn`t expect the same treatment here as I got when I was in the Canadian Air Force!!!! Well I did fly to Canada on holiday a couple of times but the pilot flew the plane.

I've had 3. They are way down in the bikini area and are just faint white lines about 4-5" long
