Noodle, I was told that the table was tilted so the surgeon coud reach.
I am not sure about my scar. I still have a dressing on it till Monday (6 weeks, not seen it) but I had a peak at the edge that has peeled and its a lot further out to the side than I expected....but I had a big baby and they probably needed the "elbow room" too. I think the edges might be visible once the hair grows back. Oh well!....my bikini modeling days are over.

Mines almost as long as my hand, and is horribly lumpy cos I had a massive abcess underneath it a couple of weeks later that stretched it out a lot, and I have always had that horrid overhang too! I am now 25 weeks preg and it STILL hasnt filled out yet

I'm sure my overhang is worse than when I had DD. My hubby keeps telling me it will go down as it's only been 3 weeks and that it's all brusied and swollen inside. My god I hope he is right, but somehow i'm not convinced.  I'm not even overweight but think it maybe there to stay.
It looks hideous, I cry everytime I look in the mirror now
Will it look better with some serious exercise and abdominal workouts?

My scar is no where near as raised and lumpy now as it was 6 weeks after I had bubs, it's still not smooth or nice but the best way to describe it would be that it feels like an thick seam line through a layer of clothing - I'm still not happy with it as it's above the bikini line so in full view, and on that funny angle, but I wear it with a little bit of pride now. I'm pleased it's better then it was, bit of a shame it shows over some of my hipsters!

Mine is quite long but has definitely faded over time. It down below the top of where a bikini would sit - so only those who see me with no underwear on would ever see it, so it doesn't really worry me (although its not attractive!). I had the overhang for ages though. My doc said its just fat and will go when i lose the baby weight - which it did - but now that I'm pregnant again its back - grrr!!

I haven't read all the other replies, but when I had my 6 week check with my OB, I remember him saying that c-section scars (or cuts I guess) are really hard to get right and looking good because you are on an angle for a start (I was tilted to the left on the table) and there's a baby in there distorting things as well depending on what position it's in. I guess the only thing I can say is that I look at my scar as a war wound and the way I brought my beautiful, adored baby into the world, and regardless of how it looks, it has marked me for something wonderful.
I hope you feel better soon!

Well said Ginger! That's exactly how I feel about my stretch marks and my c-section scar. Motherly war wounds
