Post pregnancy aesthetic treatment

In the vast majority of cases, a midwife will perform a vaginal delivery. When the delivery is complicated, your doctor may have to perform an emergency cesarean section.

Cesarean scar revision is a plastic and cosmetic surgery procedure for the surgical correction of scars after a cesarean section.

This medical information sheet was written by Dr. ABBOU and Dr. PESSIS who are plastic surgeons in Paris.

What is Caesarean scar revision?

Most often, the cesarean scar is a horizontal scar at the bottom of the abdomen, just above the pubic bone.
Sometimes this scar can also be vertical in the middle of the belly from the navel to the pubis, especially when the cesarean section is old or was done in an emergency in a context of complication.

With rare exceptions where the cesarean delivery is scheduled with your obstetrician, it is most often a surgical procedure that is performed in an emergency, and whose main goal is to deliver a healthy baby or to avoid a maternal complication.

Most often the scar becomes more and more discreet as the years go by, and is very well hidden in underwear or in a bathing suit and by pubic hair. However, in some cases, the horizontal incision is adherent to the deep planes and invaginated. It may pull, itch, be hypertrophic or even keloid, or simply because of post-pregnancy weight gain, it may be topped by a small bulge that makes it difficult to conceal.

When the Caesarean scar becomes embarrassing, it can be improved with a scar touch-up.

Course of the intervention

The revision of the cesarean scar takes place under local or general anesthesia depending on the patient’s wishes and the procedure to be considered.
It will be done in the operating room on an outpatient basis (no hospitalization):
  • The procedure usually begins with a liposuction that allows the tissues around the scar to be detached and to reduce the bulge above the scar.
  • Then the Caesarean scar and the possible sub-cicatricial fibrosis that attaches it to the abdominal muscle plane are removed.
  • Finally, the procedure is completed with the Urgotouch laser, which further improves the quality of the scar.
Stitches are made with absorbable thread.

The suites

Post-operative recovery is relatively quick. Pain is moderate and physical activities can be resumed after about ten days.
The resumption of transit takes place within 24 hours after the surgery in general.
You can take a shower the day after the operation.
