I recently welcomed my daughter into the world via c-section. (My second c-section). The doctor created a new incision approx. 1-1/2 inches below the first site. I had told her my first one got infected.Once she began creating the new site she informed me my uterus is completely wrapped in scar tissue and is now attached to my abdominal wall.I plan on having a Tummy Tuck later this year after I get my body in better shape. How will my two incision sites and the attached uterus be addressed?
Answer: See if your docs can discuss your case I believe this case involves good communication between your plastic surgeon and your OB-GYN to determine what is really meant by the uterus is "stuck to the abdominal wall". Once that bit of information has bee discussed and worked out then the plan for your tummy tuck can be discussed with you. If there are true concerns about the uterus then this may be address simultaneously with the tummy tuck by your OB-GYN.

Answer: Mulitple c-section scars and tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) The management of your scars depends on how low they were placed as well as the amount of skin laxity and level of the umbilicus.

Answer: Complex Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) Anytime you have a previous surgery, it makes subsequent surgeries more complex. If you just had the two low scars, then it really is not a significant problem. Since you have a previous infection and internal scarring, then you really need appropriate workup before any surgery. In all likelihood, you should be fine since an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) does not involve entering your abdominal cavity. It may, however, be a good idea for your plastic surgeon to discuss your case with your Ob/Gyn to make sure there are no other issues. Good luck.

Answer: Question Tummy Tuck with uterus adhesion to abdominal wall Thank you for your question. It would be unusual for the wall of your uterus to be attached to the skin and subcutaneous fat after C-section. You need to discuss the specifics with your obstetrician and ask if the uterus adhesion is underneath the abdominal wall muscle. If the uterus is attached to the under surface of the abdominal wall muscles then you could consider having a Tummy Tuck.However full and clear communication between the findings of your obstetrician and your chosen plastic surgeon are essential to make this decision.Be sure to consult a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, experienced and has a good reputation in your community.
