C-Scar Revision New York City

What to Expect on the Day of C-Scar Revision Surgery

When you come in for your C-Scar revision, you will be administered some anesthesia, either general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, depending on what is discussed during your consultation. When you are fully sedated, Dr. Samson will begin strategically re-opening the C-Scar.

A full C-scar revision involves re-opening the scar to remove excess scar tissue, lifting the abdominal skin until each skin fold is even and aligned, and stitching the skin together using advanced medical techniques to reduce scarring.

What’s the First Step?

The first step in getting a C-Scar revision in New York City is to contact the office of William Samson, MD. When you come in for your consultation, you will be able to meet with Dr. Samson and discuss what you’re looking to achieve from the procedure. He will also be able to answer any questions you may have, examine your stomach and body type, and ask you questions about your medical history. You should be very open and honest when talking about your medical history, as this will help Dr. Samson make the best decisions when creating your surgical and treatment plan.

Once your plan has been made and you agree with it, you will meet with our Patient Coordinator, who will help you select your surgical date. You will also be given a list of instructions that will help give you a more optimal surgical experience.

C-Scar Revision Recovery

After your C-Scar revision surgery, you will be able to return home to recover in peace. However, you should have a friend or family member available to give you a ride home. You will have dressings or bandages applied to your sutures, and you may also be wrapped in an elastic bandage or compression garment to minimize swelling and give your abdomen additional support.

You will likely be sore during the first week or so and should plan on resting and taking some downtime the first few days post-surgery to reduce scarring and avoid any excess bruising or swelling. You may be able to return to work after a few days, but only if you have light work; there should be absolutely no heavy lifting until Dr. Samson clears you to do so. Most patients require a few weeks of recovery before they can do even gentle tasks.
