What does a C-section scar look like?

Rest assured, most scars from a C-section heal well and are barely noticeable!

  • During a C-section, you actually undergo two incisions: the first one, in the uterus, is internal while the second one is made in the belly.
  • In the absence of complications, the second incision is mostly made horizontally, in the lower abdomen area: it will be more resistant and more aesthetic.
  • The scar is closed with staples or stitches.
  • You must have it closely monitored to ensure that no infection occurs.
  • In most cases, the scar evolves well and remains relatively discreet.

My doctor told me it's normal. It's scar tissue and she told me in the shower you should massage it and it will help break it up. But only if your healed enough to where it doesn't hurt.

two years ago when it happened I remember being like holy shit this is a big big cut this is going to be hue and now it's like where'd it go? 😩 We're extremely lucky, my doctor told me when he cut me open that my fat was very nice and if the person has very good fat right there I guess that makes it heal better or something.
