Factors affecting cesarean scar

What factors will affect the scar of caesarean section? Hu Kuikui, chief physician of the Beauty Department of Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said that the scar of caesarean section is mainly related to two factors:

1. Personal physique

Whether the scar grows well is related to personal physique. Some people have scar constitution, caesarean section scar is naturally bigger, and it is also prone to scar hyperplasia. In addition, if the new mother has health problems such as anemia, malnutrition and diabetes, it is not conducive to wound healing, and the scar will grow slightly worse.

Step 2 be nervous

Tension refers to the force that the wound pulls apart to both sides. The greater the tension, the skin will start the repair function, produce more scar tissue, connect the cracked parts, and finally form a red, hard and uneven scar. This is actually related to the suture method during the operation.

How can you make caesarean scar look good?

Caesarean section will definitely leave scars, but we always want to make our bodies look as good as possible. How can I make caesarean scar look good? Director Hu said that in order to make caesarean scar look good, we can start from the following aspects.

1. Pay attention to postoperative care to avoid infection.

Care must be taken after the operation to keep the wound clean and avoid infection. Avoid excessive lateral bending or stretching after operation, and try to take a lateral position when sleeping to reduce the tension of abdominal wall and avoid pulling the wound. In addition, new mothers should not rush to do strenuous activities during the recovery period, so as not to open the healed wounds.

2. Let the scabbed skin fall off naturally.

When the wound scabs, don't tear the scab skin prematurely and let it fall off naturally. This is because tearing scabbed skin prematurely can easily take away epidermal cells that are still in the repair stage, and may even tear off dermal tissue, which will affect the recovery of the wound.

Don't scratch

During the recovery period, the wound usually feels itchy. If it is in summer, it is easy to sweat and itching will be more serious. At this time, we must hold back, don't scratch with our hands, and don't scald with hot water, so as to avoid inflammatory reaction after connective tissue is stimulated, which will further aggravate itching. When the scar itches, you can apply ice to relieve itching. If it is really unbearable, you can ask the doctor to prescribe some topical antipruritic drugs.

pay attention to the diet

Pay attention to eating more fresh vegetables and fruits in the diet. Rich vitamins can promote metabolism and help skin regeneration, while paying attention to eating spicy food as little as possible.

Pay attention to sun protection

After the newborn skin is stimulated by ultraviolet rays, it is easy to leave black spots because of melanin deposition, so it is best to avoid scar exposure to the sun and put on a swimsuit when swimming.

6. Medical beauty

If the scar is serious, you can go to a plastic surgery hospital and get rid of it by medical beauty. However, it should be noted that it is not suitable for plastic surgery within six months after operation.
