NO, I did not. I am 5'3 and weigh 105 or so. You can get a flap if you are thin IF you do not have good skin elasticity (genetics) or you gain a couple of pounds above the scar. As you age you will get a bit of a flap as your tissues inevitably loose their tauntness..but Claire, may I ask why you are having a c? Is this your first baby?

you now, there comes a time when one just has to stop being vain-who really cares if you have a little pouch?? unfortunately, age will catch up and you'll be worrying about more than that flap. I hope you don't get stretch marks!!!

I'm having a c because I was told I need a c. And I don't think I'm being overly vain, I'm young, and quite frankly anyone who says they don't care about how they look is lying. I was just wondering about the flap, that's all.

I care, but Im not running to the plastic surgeon for a little extra skin, that is a fact of life, your body gets wear and tear, your probably too young to now that yet.

I think it is a valid thing to wonder about. I too, wondered what my scar would look like (not with my first, I was exhausted and defeated). At the time I had not heard of flaps, but since I have concrete abs from Elite-level gymnastics that might be why I didn't get one or the fact that my ab muscles were cut completely (no room for the other procedure) with my horizontal cut. I do notice once in awhile I have an indication of a POTENTIAL problem area, but so far none to speak of.
