EnglishC-section scars can cause both cosmetic and physical discomfort. The scar may be slightly retracted and cause the abdomen to bulge slightly just above the scar. If the scar is ingrained in the abdominal muscles, it can rub against clothing and cause discomfort, both at rest and during activity.
This can be effectively treated with plastic surgery methods. In this article, we go through how this is done and what results you can expect.
Problems with scars after a caesarean section: A caesarean section results in a scar through the abdominal wall. The scar is usually located low on the abdomen, but in some people the scar becomes wide and unsightly.
If the scar draws down towards the depths, the skin over the scar often bulges out and can cause the scar to droop. In some cases, the scar becomes "fascia-grown", i.e. the scar grows all the way into the
musculature. This can cause functional problems with pain and discomfort when wearing tight-fitting clothing and the like.
What do you achieve with caesarean scar correction: Scar enhancement can provide both aesthetic and functional improvement. Using plastic surgery techniques, the scar is removed and the abdominal wall is reconstructed so that there is no longer any retraction at the scar. At the same time, tightness and discomfort can be removed from the scar.
Briefly about the techniques used: Surgery to improve scars after caesarean section uses the same principles as for abdominoplastyincluding liposuction, skin tightening and closure of skin and subcutaneous tissue with plastic surgery methods.
Adjustment of scars, tightening of skin and muscles: C-section scars are removed right down to the muscles. At the same time, the skin is tightened, and if there is split abdominal musclesrectus diastasis, this can be corrected in the same operation.
In order to achieve smooth, beautiful results, liposuction is often performed at the same time.
