What is
C-Section Scar Revision?

Women who undergo C-section surgeries usually experience horizontal, noticeable scars along their underwear line. The scars typically start from the belly’s width and pass through the navel. These scars can sometimes become discolored or painful. Unfortunately, this scarring can make your body appear quite unappealing.

At NexGen, we realize your aesthetic goals and offer a comprehensive C-section scar revision treatment plan. Our board-certified surgeon, Dr. Yamini, performs breast augmentation, tummy tuck (mommy makeover), or liposuction procedures to minimize the appearance of the scars. It’s your right to not only look good but also feel your beautiful self!

Treatment Options

Mini Tummy Tuck

Mini tummy tucks target the entire stomach and abdominal area and improve the C-section scarring in these spots. After a C-section, many women face muscle weakness, loose skin, and stretch marks. With mini tummy tucks, the surgeon makes incisions around the patient’s stomach to tighten the loose skin and achieve a flat stomach. This procedure doesn’t remove the skin from the abdomen.

Schedule a Consultation

Full Tummy Tuck

A full tummy tuck or abdominoplasty improves the abdominal area after the delivery. The procedure removes loose tissues and skin to achieve a flat stomach. The surgeon performs liposuction and liposculpture procedures during a full tummy tuck to remove excess fat tissues or skin from the patient’s abdominal area. The belly shape is then reshaped, and the abdominal muscles are tightened over the stomach.

Procedure Process
and Recovery

1

Assessment

The patient must sit with their surgeon for a detailed consultation before undergoing the C-section scar revision procedure. It allows the doctor to evaluate your health to determine whether the surgery is right for you. For this procedure, you must wait at least 6 months or 12 years after breastfeeding. Ensure you pick a highly-experienced surgeon like Dr. Yamini for the C-section revision process.
2

Opening the Incision

In C-section scar revision, the doctor reopens the incision and uses advanced surgical techniques to reduce the scar size. Typically, Dr. Yamini performs full or mini tummy tucks on horizontal C-section scars to remove excess skin around the abdominal area. When it comes to vertical depressed scars, the surgeon removes the scar and performs liposuction to remove fat from the abdomen.
3

Closing the Incision

After making the desired changes, the surgeon pulls back the remaining skin to tighten the abdominal muscles. It results in a flat tummy. The incisions are then closed using dissolvable sutures, so you won’t have to visit the surgeon repeatedly.
4

Post-Surgery Care

You will be given a comprehensive post-surgery care plan after the procedure. It will include wearing an abdominal support garment for the first 8 weeks after the surgery. Your doctor will dress your incision with brown micropore tape.
You will have to keep the tape completely dry. Your surgeon will also prevent you from lifting heavy weights and strenuous activities for 4 weeks. It will take the weight off your abdomen.
5

Recovery

The recovery period after the C-section scar revision varies depending on the procedure performed. When simple scar removal is performed, the general duration is relatively less and may take up to two weeks. However, it may take longer if a full tummy tuck is performed. The redness or scarring after the procedure will fade away within 3 months.
