Reduced scar visibility, improved skin texture, full results in 3-6 months
C-section scar removal is a procedure aimed at revising and removing depressed or painful C-section scars. It is common to combine this with a mini tummy tuck to achieve optimal results. In certain instances, depressed vertical C-section scars can be eliminated, and laser liposuction can be employed to reduce surrounding areas, resulting in an enhanced scar appearance and a flatter abdomen.
The majority of patients who seek out a C-section scar removal/revision do so for the following reasons:
Many women incorporate C-section scar removal in Boca Raton & West Palm Beach into their mommy makeover procedures.
If you have undergone a C-section delivery and are dissatisfied with the appearance of your scar, you might be a suitable candidate for C-section scar revision in Boca Raton & West Palm Beach.
Optimal candidates typically exhibit signs such as tethering/creasing of the scar, a noticeable step-off, or other deformities that can be addressed through the revision process.
Horizontal C-section scars are eliminated through a procedure often involving a mini tummy tuck. The skin above the C-section scar is undermined, tightened, and any excess skin is removed. For vertical depressed scars extending from the navel down to the pubis, the scar is excised, and laser liposuction is employed to reduce fat in the surrounding area, resulting in a flattened abdomen.
If a C-section scar revision procedure also involves a tummy tuck, it can take up to 2 weeks for the patient to recover. If the procedure is focused entirely on removing a C-section scar, it can take as little as 7 to 10 days for the patient to fully recover. Patients will see improvements in the treated area immediately following the procedure. That said, it can take anywhere from a month to three months for the final results of the procedure to be perceivable.

It is typically advised that patients wait at least 6 months to a year after they are finished breastfeeding before seeking out a C-section scar removal. This is simply due to the fact that the patient needs time to shed any excess weight that they take on during the pregnancy and after-birth period.
When carried out by skilled and experienced practitioners, C-section scar removal is incredibly safe. The team at Sanctuary Plastic Surgery has years of experience in performing these treatments and can help patients look their best.
