Symptoms of cesarean section scar hyperplasia

About two to three weeks after the surgical incision has healed after a cesarean section, the scar begins to proliferate. At this time, the local area becomes red, purple, hardened, and protrudes from the skin surface. This lasts for about three to six months. The proliferation of fibrous tissue gradually stops, the scar gradually becomes flat and soft, and the color turns dark brown. These are the symptoms of cesarean section scar hyperplasia.

With only two needle holes and an American radio frequency instrument, the problem can be easily solved. The clinical effect is significant and it can also help lose weight.

How to take care of cesarean section scars?

1. Pay attention to keeping the scar clean, wipe off sweat stains in time, and be careful not to soak it in hot water, scratch it with your hands, or rub it with clothes.

During this period, you can clean it with a neutral detergent and then treat it with some anti-scar medication.
