Can cesarean section scars be removed?

Most women probably don't like to have scars on their bodies, because for women, a very important prerequisite for pursuing physical perfection is not to have scars. However, even today when caesarean section technology is so advanced, many women still have scars on their bodies after giving birth. Moreover, the scars left by caesarean sections are usually very long, so can other methods be used to remove the scars left by caesarean sections?

1. Due to physical problems, many mothers will experience itchy scars after delivery. When the cesarean section scar becomes painful or itchy, you can apply some topical medications. Do not scratch with your hands or rub with clothes, as this will only aggravate local irritation and cause further itching.

2. It is important to pay attention to hygiene. Before cesarean section, the mother should thoroughly wash her body, use antibiotics preventively, change the medicine after cesarean section, keep the environment around the wound clean and dry, avoid infection, and delay wound healing. Do not do strenuous activities before and after the stitches are removed to avoid excessive stretching or side bending of the body. In addition, when resting, it is best to lie on your side with your body slightly bent to reduce tension on the abdominal wall.

3. People with scar-prone constitution should avoid caesarean sections, as even small wounds will leave obvious scars. Experts suggest that people with scar-prone constitutions should not choose to have a caesarean section.

Caesarean scar care

1. Wait patiently for the stitches to be removed after the cesarean section. During this period, make sure the wound and the surrounding area are clean and dry, and change the dressing frequently.

2. After the caesarean section wound has scabbed over, the scab cannot be pulled off artificially. The scab needs to mature and fall off naturally. Removing the scab too early will remove the epidermal cells that are still in the repair stage, and even tear off the dermal tissue, causing itching in the wound.

3. The cesarean section scar will only start to proliferate 2 to 3 weeks after the scab has fallen off or the stitches have been removed. Therefore, 15 days after the scab has fallen off or the stitches have been removed, you can apply scar prevention drugs, such as Scar Diet Cosmetics, under the guidance of a doctor to prevent scar proliferation. After the stitches have been removed, avoid strenuous exercise, excessive stretching or lateral flexion of the body.
