After giving birth through a Cesarean section, women are left with a linear scar above the pubic area that can span a few to several inches. Though underwear, a bathing suit, and most clothing typically hide the scar, many women feel self-conscious when undressed or in intimate situations. Because different skin types can form vastly different scars, the ideal treatment will depend on the fibrous tissue growth. Generally, scar excision and skin resurfacing are performed alone or together to improve a C-section scar.
