How to remove scars after cesarean section

1. Laser cesarean scar repair

When using the cesarean section scar repair method to repair a cesarean section scar, the first step is to locally inject drugs that inhibit reticular fiber hyperplasia; the second step is to combine dye pulse laser irradiation with a specific wavelength to block the hyperplastic blood vessels, which can loosen the hyperplastic scar and make the scar gradually flatten and thinner; the third step is to restore the cesarean section scar to the shape of a thin line. Experts recommend that in order to avoid the appearance of earthworm-shaped scars, 1-2 pulsed laser irradiations should be performed 2-4 weeks after this cesarean section scar repair.

2. Surgical cesarean section scar repair

This method of cesarean section scar repair is more suitable for scars that are ugly or hypertrophic scar tissue caused by infection, foreign bodies, etc., because cesarean section scar repair can remove the scar and re-suture it. For scars with straight incisions, the incision can be redesigned to beautify the scar. For unsightly scars protruding from the lower abdomen, you should first undergo cesarean section scar repair with liposuction or abdominal plastic surgery to tighten the fascia of the abdominal muscles and restore their taut state, and then remove the excess skin. The cesarean section scar repair should be done by re-suturing the incision with minimal tension, which can maximize the improvement of the scar and body shape.

Here are some tips to prevent cesarean section hyperplasia:

1. Massage method: Rub the scar with the base of your palm, three times a day, each time for 5-10 minutes. This method is most effective for wounds that have just shed scabs, but is less effective for old scars.

2. Ginger friction method: Slice the ginger and gently rub the scar to inhibit the continued growth of granulation tissue.

3. Vitamin E application method: Vitamin E can penetrate into the skin and play its moisturizing effect. At the same time, vitamin E can also maintain skin elasticity. But you may not be familiar with the scar removal effect of vitamin E. Poke a hole in the vitamin E capsule with a needle, take out the liquid inside and apply it on the scar and gently massage for 5-10 minutes, twice a day. You will see better results if you persist.

4. Vitamin C application method: Vitamin C has a whitening effect. Apply vitamin C on darker scars to whiten them and make them consistent with the tone of the surrounding healthy skin.
