Anyone have a plastic surgeon in the area close their c section incision? Is this possible? I heard it makes for better recovery and better scar line. Anyone able to share cost for this? |
I think outside of really arranging a very personal experience or being a hospital employee who can pull some strings (like has a friend plastic who agrees to be there at that time) it is pretty hard to pull this off. You would need to like, hire a plastic surgeon and have them on call for that whole time period. I imagine it would be very expensive. |
Find a plastic surgeon who has hospital privileges where you want to deliver, call and ask. You might be able to schedule your C for a day s/he is in the OR.
An OB absolutely destroyed my uterus, left a huge cyst. The next one came by with a 2nd Csec and left if fully ruptured. OBs are incompetent surgeons. It is a running "joke" in surgery. I have an acquaintance who complained to the medical board about her single layer closure that left her with a symptomatic isthmocele and the medical board sided with the OB. It is well known single layer closure is inferior to that of double. Obstetrics has a systemic culture of abuse toward women. |
Vain, vain, vain |
This sounds like a you probably. Lots of women are prone to keloids, sorry your skin is just not perfect. |
No, don't be stupid and vain. |
Do you know how many plastic surgeons are trained on closing a uterus? OP your suture line will be below your public hair line. Mine did an amazing job. I had two VBACs also. |
How? |
You have more important things to worry about than your scar. Parental responsibility is going to blindside you. On the other hand, maybe you have enough money to pay for 2 nannies and a night nurse. |
I don't have kelois. The scars on the outside are almost invisible. |
The external scar doesn't matter. If it turns out ugly it can be revised by a tummy tuck. The scar on the uterus is what matters |
Tissue healing is so variable. You could have the finest surgeon in the hospital and still struggle. I’d not worry about this now. |
OP - I have heard of it done but generally plastic surgeons want to do it a year later although some will at six months. https://wmhsplasticsurgery.com/plastic-surger...%20the%20new%20baby. |
