As a new mom or mother of multiple children, you may not love the appearance of your mid-section. Your abdomen undoubtedly works hard to expand and support a pregnancy. This can leave women with that dreaded “mommy pooch,” even years after having a child. However, if you had a cesarean delivery, you may have additional reasons to hate your belly. A C-section scar may be a physical reminder of one of the most special moments in your life, but that doesn’t mean you have to bear this unsightly mark on your stomach if you don’t want to. In fact, many women find that a tummy tuck procedure is a win-win solution to eliminate the extra bulge and hide a C-section scar near their bikini line.
A Tummy Tuck from Precision Medical Specialists
Abdominoplasty, or “tummy tuck,” is a popular plastic surgery designed to get rid of extra fat and skin around the stomach region. This procedure is especially popular for women who have had children and is commonly performed during a “Mommy Makeover” from a plastic surgeon. When choosing Precision Medical Specialists for abdominoplasty, women can achieve a flatter torso with some significant advantages.
Precision’s Tummy Tuck is ideal for busy moms who need rapid recovery. In fact, over 99% of our patients are back to their work or their everyday routine within 1 week after surgery. Our tummy tucks are performed with gentle liposuction, a TAP block to reduce discomfort and carefully placed incisions to reduce visible scarring.
Plastic Surgeons Scars Vs. Obstetrician’s Scars
What if you have a C-section scar and want a Tummy Tuck too? Instead of more noticeable scars from an additional stomach surgery, our plastic surgeons will make sure you walk away with less scarring. Keep in mind that your C-section incision was made by your obstetrician, not a plastic surgeon.
C-section scars can often be bumpy, crooked, too high or longer than they need to be. While some women find that non-surgical remedies help to fade their scars after giving birth, there are many moms who continue to struggle with their C-section scar, especially when it also involves a skin flap or indention with their scar. For these women, a tummy tuck is an ideal solution. Unlike the doctor delivering your baby, a plastic surgeon is very attentive to the placement, length and overall visibility of your incisions during a tummy tuck procedure. Our goal is to make them undetectable if you were wearing a bikini!
At Precision Medical Specialists, we believe that moms deserve to feel confident in their skin, even during swimsuit season! Contact us today to learn more about C-section Scar Removal or Tummy Tuck Surgery in West Palm.
