Patient's question:
I am a mom of two children, and both of my pregnancies were via cesarean section. Now, three years later, the scars from the cesarean sections are still very noticeable and large. They look a bit like centipedes and are quite unattractive. Sometimes in the summer, when I wear short clothes, I worry that they will be exposed and look too bad. Is there any method to make these scars smaller?Doctor's answer:
After a cesarean section, if there are scars on the wound, it may be considered scar tissue. If the scar area is not large and the severity is not serious, many scar removal creams can be applied to help stabilize it. However, it has a certain time frame and is not immediately effective. If the scar area is large and the severity is deep, conservative treatment is relatively ineffective, and laser scar removal surgery can be performed at a large hospital. There are many treatment methods for cesarean sections, but since the patient's symptoms vary, the treatment methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to receive a prompt diagnosis so that the appropriate treatment can be administered.
