Abdominoplasty After a Caesarean Section in Berlin
Pregnancy can significantly change the body in many ways. A Caesarean section may also leave a noticeable scar. If tethered to the abdominal wall, this scar can cause excess skin and fatty tissue to bulge above it. For many women, this affects how comfortable and confident they feel about their body.
If this concerns you, I offer abdominoplasty after a Caesarean section at my practice in Berlin.
Depending on your anatomy, either a full abdominoplasty or a mini abdominoplasty may be appropriate. A full abdominoplasty involves repositioning the navel, whilst a mini abdominoplasty may be suitable when the excess skin is mainly confined to the lower abdomen.
What Results Can Be Achieved with Abdominoplasty After a Caesarean Section?
During an abdominoplasty after a Caesarean section in Berlin, I can revise and resuture the existing scar. Any adhesions tethering it to the abdominal wall can be released, and excess skin and fatty tissue removed. If the mons pubis has descended, it can also be lifted towards its original position. The Caesarean scar itself is generally shifted only slightly to the left or right.
Abdominoplasty after a Caesarean section can create a firmer, smoother abdominal contour and help you feel more comfortable with your body. The procedure does not prevent future pregnancies, but I generally recommend postponing abdominoplasty until your family is complete. If a mini abdominoplasty is sufficient, it is a less extensive procedure and may involve fewer risks than a full abdominoplasty.
Where Are the Incisions Made?
The position and extent of the incisions depend on your anatomy and treatment goals. A full abdominoplasty requires an incision just above the pubic area and an incision around the navel, which is released from the surrounding tissue. Excess tissue is removed and, where necessary, the abdominal muscles are tightened. The remaining tissue is drawn smoothly over the abdomen to follow the body’s contours, and the navel is repositioned. For a mini abdominoplasty, a horizontal incision above the pubic area is usually sufficient, and the navel can remain in its original position.
