C-section pouch - am I being unreasonable thinking you need surgery to fully get rid of it?

I’ve had 3 babies, 2 were cesarians (1 emergency). The last one was 3 years ago and I’ve always lost the baby weight within 6 months. I’m extremely active in terms of cardio and I do on/ off training to focus on my core, sit ups / crunches etc. admittedly I am not a “gym freak” (more of a long distance runner) but I’m slim enough yet I have this roll of fat above my scar which seems like it is here to stay. Currently debating forking out for a personal trainer but in reality can I actually do anything to get rid of this stubborn roll of fat?! Has there been too much muscle damage? Basically my charming DH thinks if I work at it enough I could flatten it but I told him I think it would require surgery. A quick Google search and AI agrees with me I might add!

Firstly well done for making 3 wonderful humans! Secondly well done for managing to cope with parenting and also looking after your own fitness! You are an incredible lady. Yes it will take surgery to change that small part of your body. Up to you (not your husband).
