Caesarean sections, or C-sections, are quite common when delivering babies. Though obstetricians are trained to perform C-sections as low on the belly as possible, sometimes the urgency of a situation can create unfortunate scarring. C-section scars can run either across the width of the belly or vertical, through a woman’s navel. They vary from thin, squiggly white lines to thick, raised scars that can be painful to the touch.
Our meticulous surgeons are highly experienced in scar revision and take great pleasure in helping women find treatment for these minor imperfections.
Reasons for a C-Section Scar Removal
Treating a scar from a C-section can be a very satisfying process. Most women who choose to remove their scar from a C-section do so because:
- The scar causes self consciousness.
- The scar is visible through clothing, or while wearing swimwear.
- The scar is depressed or deformed and causing extra skin to hang over the scar.
- They have red, raised, or painful scars (also known as keloids) that need to be removed or revised.
