Can I have a mommy makeover after a C-section?

#

A mommy makeover safely corrects the tethered 'C-section shelf', excises old hypertrophic C-section scars, and restores flat abdominal contours, performed with precision by Dr. Vishal Purohit in Jaipur.

Clinical Pathology & Literature Context

Cesarean deliveries frequently produce an unsightly 'C-section overhang' or shelf deformity. This occurs because the transverse lower incision adheres tightly to the deep rectus fascia, creating an immobile tethered groove over which loose abdominal skin and subcutaneous fat cascade forward. Dr. Vishal Purohit addresses this during abdominoplasty by excising the compromised C-section scar entirely, releasing deep fascial tethering, plicating divergent rectus muscles, and mobilizing the upper abdominal flap downward. The resulting scar is placed lower along the natural pubic crease, easily hidden beneath modern underwear and bikini bottoms.

Surgical & Post-Operative Recovery Protocol

You must wait at least six to nine months after your C-section before surgery. Desk work resumes in 10 to 14 days, with full healing in six to eight weeks. Consult Dr. Vishal Purohit in Jaipur.
