If you have had a caesarean section or are considering one in the future, this article is for you. In it, we share scar revision secrets from the red carpet…
Costhetics Hot Topic: C-Section Scarring
Erasing the signs of a C-section in Australia is a hot topic around the Costhetics water cooler. Our research team has noticed a global increase in the number of women whosebabies are delivered via C-section.
According to the latest mothers and babies report from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, nearly one-third of all births in Australia are by caesarean section. That percentage spikes to 49% for women over the age of 40 whose risk for complications during childbirth increase with age.
J-Lo & Other Celebrity C-Sections
Nowhere is the trend toward elective caesarean section birth more popular than in Celebrityland. Busy A-listers including Jennifer Lopez, Kate Hudson, and Molly Sims opted for this procedure, excited to have a baby without the birth wreaking havoc with their schedules.
Appearance-conscious celebrities are understandably less excited about the scarring that can occur following a c-section. In some women, the scar can become raised, wide, or depressed. It can also cause long-term pain or discomfort.

4 Reasons to Have C-Section Scars Removed
There are four main reasons women choose to have scar revision surgery after a C-Section:
- The C-section scar is depressed or deformed, causing an unsightly flap of skin to hang over the scar.
- The C-section scarring is raised and painful.
- The C-section scar forms uncomfortable keloids (excess scar tissue).
- The C-section scarring is visible through clothing.
Why Consult a Surgeon After a C-Section
Obstetric surgeons are skilled professionals, but their area of expertise is delivering babies. The aesthetics of a potential scar are less important to them than the health of the newborn and mother.
Cosmetic plastic surgeons, on the other hand, are experts in skin and wound repair. Their sole focus is making a scar look as good as possible.
Costhetics Trend Spotting: Scar Revision Plus Mini Tummy Tuck
A new trend is for women to have a mini tummy tuck performed at the same time as C-section scar revision. With the proper tools and techniques, cosmetic surgeons can remove depressed vertical C-section scars, then use laser liposuction to thin down the surrounding areas.
The results include an improved scar and a flat belly. What mother wouldn’t want that?!

Unfortunately, insurance does not cover the removal of a C-section scar. Considering the process, a complete tummy tuck to repair the muscles should be covered by insurance as well.
