Cesarean sections can help women avoid the torture and pain associated with natural childbirth, but the choice to have a caesarean section inevitably leads to the existence of future abdominal scars. This scar is also a mark of the baby's birth, but in this age of beauty, it is painful for many women to even believe some of the so-called advertisements to remove it completely.

Scars go away naturally, but they are formed by the arrangement of collagen and growth factors. Overproliferation of collagen and growth factors leads to an abnormal arrangement, resulting in scar growth. Over time, it is not possible to rearrange the abnormal collagen. When the scar is fully mature, the scar will shrink relatively, but it is completely impossible to allow the scar to slowly disappear on its own.

Laser surgical treatment can resolve caesarean scars. It is not possible, with the current state of medical science, to completely restore the scar to its original healthy skin. This laser or surgical treatment is not only expensive, it can cause secondary trauma and pain, and even lead to recurrence of the scar. Drug injections can affect the body, and this is likely to interfere with breastfeeding of the baby .

Postnatal wounds heal well and scars do not multiply. Some women find that their caesarean wounds recover well, without inflammation, swelling or itching. The belief is that as long as the scars do not grow, they will not become enlarged and bulging in the future. In fact, even if the C-section wound returns to normal, the scar will still pass through the hyperplasia phase. The chronic stretching of the scar, caused by the direction of the scar being out of alignment with the tension of the skin, is a factor in scar growth.

Thus, caesarean scars are inevitable, so women who choose to have a caesarean should not leave anything to chance, let alone blindly believe the advertisements. Although it cannot be removed, it is possible to minimise scar growth with careful post-operative care.
