The C-section scar can sometimes be very bothersome. In some cases, the scar that should remain as an imperceptible line, over time becomes thick, hard, with a darker color, can itch and even hurt. ⠀ And what are the main scar problems that can occur after a C-section? ⠀ - Keloid: exaggerated proliferation of cells in an attempt to repair the incision, leaving the line bulky, and it can even be larger than the initial incision. ⠀ - Hypertrophic scar: which occurs for the same reason as a keloid, with the difference that the scar respects the limits of the injury. ⠀ - Hyperchromic: the scar becomes darker. ⠀ All these cases can be treated, and are always individualized. Our arsenal includes: Laser, pulsed light, peeling, infiltration, and creams. ⠀ Results may vary depending on each skin type. Therefore, it is essential that the patient has a thorough conversation with the doctor before undergoing treatment. ⠀ #plasticsurgery #health #cesarean #scar #keloid #hypertrophicscar #pregnancy #womenshealth ⠀
