C-Section Scar Correction
St. Louis
The miracle of birth is just that: a miracle! Unfortunately, the scars that some birthing processes can leave behind are often less than desirable. Depending on the incision and the healing, some cesarean section scars can become indented, lumpy, uneven, or otherwise noticeable. Some women find that after their C-section they get a “pooch” that sits on top of the scar making it hard to wear certain types of clothing. By getting the scar revised excess skin or even sometimes fat can be removed at the same time to smooth out your lower abdomen.
