Specializes in Cosmetic Surgery

C-section wound : Your ob/gyn is obviously already treating you as you are on antibiotic medications. You also need topical wound care on a regular basis. Sometimes patients require surgery to help debride the wound. You may be referred to a plastic surgeon either now or later on for lower abdominal contouring.

Dr Cullington and another doctor agreed
