After Elective C-Section Treatment

Scroll

Overview

If you have had an elective c-section, you may be dealing with your own unique set of challenges in the postpartum phase. You may experience decreased tone to the abdomen, vaginal dryness, issues with incision, or negative feelings about your scar appearance.

Why is this happening to my body?

Although the delivery of the baby was via c-section, you still may experience vaginal dryness due to the change in hormones throughout pregnancy and the postpartum period. A decrease in estrogen levels can cause vaginal dryness, especially if you are breastfeeding. This may cause some pain or discomfort during intercourse, though some lubricants may help.

The most immediate postpartum change is the surgical incision to the lower abdomen. This incision is typically made just above the pubic hairline, and is closed with stitches, staples, or surgical glue. Your healthcare provider will provide instructions for incision care to prevent infection. The incision site may be sore, and you may experience some discomfort or numbness around it. Over time, the scar appearance will fade, and may become less noticeable. However the appearance of the scar may vary from person to person.

Similarly to a vaginal delivery, the tone in the abdomen may be decreased from stretching and manipulation during pregnancy. The c-section also involves cutting into some of the abdominal muscles, so you may find that recovery time is longer with a c-section.

What Should I Do?

Morpheus 8 is a minimally invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that combines micro needling with radio frequency energy. It is used to address skin concerns such as skin tightening, wrinkle reduction and scar improvement. It may offer some benefits related to the appearance of the c-section scar and surrounding tissue. Abdominal Tone utilizes electrical muscle stimulation to assist with diastasis recti and helps to rebuild the core muscles.

Our Package:

Our recommended treatment package is 3 sessions of Morpheus 8 Body, and 6 sessions of abdominal tone.

"Thank you very much for offering, these treatments. The VTone and Plus90 are extremely personal procedures, and Amara clinic made this a very welcoming environment. Knowing the procedures were supported, and done by medical professionals gave me confidence in trying something new. The staff was incredibly kind, and professional, and constantly made sure I was comfortable.."

I am pleased to say I have had good results from the Plus90 procedure performed by Dr.Bakhet. I had some improvement after the first procedure, and it continued to improve over the next 2 procedures. There was minimal discomfort after the first procedure, and none in the 2nd and 3rd. I had experienced bladder leakage when walking, coughing etc. Now it is 4 months post procedure and I have minimal problems with bladder leakage. I can exercise and do long walks comfortably without fear of embarrassment. I am grateful to be able to have this procedure as an alternative to surgery which would have less chance of success and more of a risk of complications post-surgery.

Our Postpartum Treatments

After Vaginal Delivery Treatment

Pregnancy and delivery likely contribute to pelvic floor injury due to compression, stretching or tearing of nerve, muscle, and connective tissue. The hymen is replaced by multiple tags of tissue. Stretching and trauma during childbirth result in pelvic muscle relaxation which may not return to the pre-gravid state.

After Emergency C. Section Treatment

After an unplanned caesarean section, you may experience both vaginal and abdominal issues such as pelvic floor dysfunction, abdominal muscle discomfort, and cosmetic concerns. After the initial 6 weeks post delivery, the majority of physiologic concerns should decrease markedly.

After Elective Treatment

The abdominal wall is lax postpartum but regains most of its normal muscular tone over several weeks. However, separation (diastasis) of the rectus abdominis muscles may persist, long term sequel may include abdominal discomfort and cosmetic issues, which may be managed conservatively or surgically.

Stretch Mark Treatment

Stretch marks are common during and after any pregnancy. While they are a symbol of all the work your body has done to create and birth your baby, they can still cause some adverse feelings. Stretch marks may have occurred to the stomach, breasts, thighs or other areas. Postpartum creams and lotions, may help to decrease the appearance of stretch marks
