Amazing experience having Dr. R as my Doctor. He did my C section. From the moment I met him before my procedure, I felt comfortable and confident. He was all about making me comfortable, listening and answering questions, along with reassuring regarding all my concerns. He has a great personality like you’ve known him forever and just that was very welcoming.

The care provided at Raveco Medical is definitely the treatment every pregnant woman deserves. I will never forget my first prenatal appointment with Dr. Steven Ravins, after he became aware that I was above advance maternal age his exact words were "we are going to take care of you" and that's what Dr. Ravins and Dr. Olkowski did.

Patient

My c section was everything I had hoped for and more. Dr. Ravins was highly recommended by my OB/GYN when I became aware that I would potentially be getting a c section. Dr. Ravins came in before the surgery and was very thorough with my husband and I, to alleviate any concerns and explain the procedure.

What You Should Know About Cosmetic Obstetrics

What is cosmetic obstetrics?
blue lineblue line

While the health of you and your baby is of utmost priority, you don’t have to endure large, unsightly scars as a badge of childbirth. The practice of cosmetic obstetrics refers to the attention the team at Raveco Medical pays to the aesthetic outcome of your pregnancy.

The doctors can help you avoid unnecessary cesarean sections, and if you should need a C-section, reduce the size and appearance of scarring.

How does cosmetic obstetrics minimize scarring?
blue lineblue line

At virtually all C-section births, the doctors use a low-transverse incision or bikini cut. This type of incision is done at the thinner portion of the uterus, resulting in less bleeding. Plus, any scar that does occur is easily hidden by underwear and even the lowest cut bathing suit bottoms.

The doctors at Raveco Medical take extra care to use small incisions and dissolvable stitches, rather than staples, to close the surgical site. Dissolvable stitches are more pliable than staples, so they can draw together two sides of an incision in a way that fits the shape of the wound. This reduces the chance that your surgical site will reopen and that you’ll experience noticeable scarring.

How can cosmetic obstetrics help me avoid a keloid scar?
blue lineblue line

Most of the time, a C-section scar heals properly. But, in some women, a keloid scar may develop. This type of scar occurs when your immune system has become overzealous, and the scar tissue extends beyond the original boundaries of the wound. You may notice lumps of scar tissue around the site of the incision.

The team at Raveco Medical can help you avoid keloids with a steroid injection at the site of the incision. If you’re prone to scarring, they may do this at the time of your C-section to prevent keloid scarring.

If you start to develop the keloid scar after you’ve had your baby, they’ll offer the first injection as soon as the scar heals. Usually, you’ll need a series of three to six injections performed monthly, depending on your particular case.

If you’re concerned about scarring due to a C-section, contact Raveco Medical to learn more about their attention to cosmetic obstetrics. Call one of the three locations to arrange an appointment or use the online tool.
