Cesarean section combined with abdominoplasty for women with indications for cesarean section

According to Dan Tri Electronic Newspaper - Pregnancy and childbirth many times cause women's abdomen to become stretched, the skin to sag, and difficult to return to its original state. Currently, pregnant mothers who are indicated for cesarean section have another optimal option: cesarean section combined with abdominal contouring.

Ms. Trieu Thi Thach, 33 years old, has just undergone a second cesarean section combined with abdominal reconstruction at Thu Cuc TCI International General Hospital. Ms. Thach registered for a full maternity package from week 16 to receive complete care.

Through medical history, obstetricians at Thu Cuc TCI said that Ms. Thach had a history of a first cesarean section. During her second pregnancy, the doctors closely monitored her health, the condition of the old surgical wound, and advised her to control her blood sugar level. At the 39th week of pregnancy, she had pain in the surgical wound, gestational diabetes, and a soft tissue lipoma in the abdominal wall. Therefore, the doctors advised her to have a cesarean section to ensure the safety of both mother and baby, and to be able to remove the lipoma.

The pregnant woman shared with the doctor her wish to combine abdominal contouring during the cesarean section, because after two pregnancies and childbirth, her abdomen was sagging, loose, and had many stretch marks.

After careful consultation, the couple agreed to have a cesarean section combined with abdominal reconstruction and liposuction. Ms. Thach was taken to the operating room and had the surgery performed. Directly performing this 3-in-1 surgery was Dr. Nguyen Van Ha, Deputy Director of Thu Cuc TCI International General Hospital, Head of Thu Cuc TCI Obstetrics and Gynecology Department and the surgical team.

After safely removing the fetus by cesarean section, the doctors removed the lipoma, cut off excess skin and fat, and then performed cosmetic sutures. After 5 days in the hospital, the patient was discharged. The hospital scheduled a 5-day appointment to remove the stitches. After the stitches were removed, Ms. Thach said she was satisfied with the results of the surgery and the hospital's services. Compared to a normal cesarean section, the patient only needs to stay in the hospital for an additional 24-48 hours for monitoring and recovery care.

“I was very worried about my postpartum figure, because this was my second time giving birth so my abdomen was not slim, not to mention being diagnosed with abdominal lipomas. Thanks to Dr. Ha and the team of doctors at Thu Cuc TCI, I not only had a smooth birth but also felt confident with a slim waist right after leaving the operating room. What was even more surprising was that coincidentally, the hospital was implementing a cumulative gratitude program. With many years of being a loyal customer, I received a text message with a gratitude code of 1.5 million VND and it was deducted from the service fee. I feel that this is a very meaningful gift from the hospital to me,” Ms. Thach shared.

Doctor Nguyen Van Ha shared that performing the above surgery brings many advantages to mothers who are indicated for cesarean section such as: high aesthetic efficiency, excess fat is removed and cosmetic stitches help women have a significantly slimmer waistline immediately after giving birth; optimal pain relief thanks to epidural anesthesia, limiting pain compared to separate abdominal cosmetic surgery methods; reducing 1 abdominal plastic surgery, saving ⅘ of the cost because 1 separate abdominal plastic surgery is very expensive, reducing the impact on health, etc.

Dr. Ha emphasized that basically, the surgery combining cesarean section and abdominal contouring is just like a normal cesarean section. After surgery, the patient does not need to wear a girdle. However, the mother needs to pay more attention to taking care of the incision, keeping it dry and clean; limit strenuous exercise, do not carry heavy objects, avoid activities that strain the abdominal muscles. In addition, women need to follow a more regular check-up schedule, and only start exercising again when advised by the doctor (usually after 8-12 weeks).

The solution of cesarean section surgery combined with abdominoplasty is a cosmetic solution for pregnant mothers who are indicated for cesarean section. According to Thu Cuc TCI, many pregnant mothers have purchased the maternity package combined with abdominoplasty at the hospital and are happy because they have welcomed their baby safely and have a slim, toned waist after giving birth, helping women to be more confident in life.

The journey of motherhood will become easier and more complete when pregnant mothers are taken care of by obstetricians from the first days of pregnancy until birth and after birth. Thu Cuc TCI accompanies mothers on this journey with a full maternity package - complete services for mother and baby. This month, TCI gives mothers up to 45% off the cost of the maternity package.
