Caesarean section scar

Cesarean section is a relatively common treatment method and is also the most suitable method of pregnancy for some women with abnormal fetal positions. After a caesarean section, there will definitely be some scars. Many women are very concerned about this kind of scar because it has a great impact on their image. However, cesarean section scars can be treated through the following methods!

1. Precision suture after scar excision

It is a commonly used and increasingly improved surgical method for treating scars, and is mostly used for scars of smaller area. During the operation, the tension of the incision is fully reduced, the operation is performed delicately, secondary damage is reduced, and the degree of postoperative scar hyperplasia is reduced. The clinical effect is definitely obvious.

2. Dermabrasion

It is a surgical method that grinds the epidermis and superficial dermis of the skin to improve the irregularities on the skin surface, making it smooth and flat and with a similar color. It is suitable for superficial scars left over from acne, smallpox, chickenpox, shingles, eczema, trauma, burns or surgery. If necessary, it can be performed simultaneously with scar surgical excision, and the effect is better than simple grinding.

3. Scar release and local reshaping

For smaller, tense cord-like or webbed scars, the scar can be removed and the surrounding normal skin tissue can be used to form a flap, which can then be cross-transposed to repair the skin defect at the scar site.

4. Scar excision and free skin grafting

Larger hypertrophic scars can be surgically removed, and then free skin grafts can be cut from normal parts of the body and transplanted to the scar surface to repair the wound and restore skin function. However, the color of the transplanted skin is often quite different from that of the surrounding skin. In addition, contracture is prone to occur after surgery, which can cause deformation of surrounding tissues and organs or induce functional disorders.

5. Scar excision and skin flap transplantation

Because the flap contains more subcutaneous fat tissue, in addition to being used to repair skin defects after scar excision, it also has the function of protecting deep tissues. The commonly used expander technology currently also belongs to flap transplantation. By burying the expander under the normal skin around the scar, after several months of expansion, excess skin can be "grown" to repair the scar.
