C-Section Scars - Reducing Their Ugly
Appearance
Unfortunately C-Section Scars are part of having a C-Section but they're one of the things that many C-Section
moms become self-conscious about.
The good news is that most of today's experienced surgeons are pretty good at ensuring a smaller scar. But for
some women, their scars don't heal as they would like and they can become thick and ugly.
If you have a c-section scar and want to reduce its ugly appearance, there are a few non-invasive things you can
do to help make your scar appear less noticeable.
Effective C-Section Scar Remedies
One of the most effective ways of reducing the appearance of c-section scars, without a prescription, is
Silicone. In fact in clinical tests, Silicone has been the most effective treatment for many types of scars.
However Silicone comes in many forms and some are more effective than others depending on the types of
scars.
For example for C-Section scars in particular, Silicone Scar sheets have proven to make the most significant difference by toning down
the redness, the Silicone sheets have also done more for softening and flattening C-Section scars than any other
treatments, in most cases.
If using Silicone is not appropriate for you or you want a more natural way to reduce the appearance of your
c-section scar, Earth Mamma Angel Baby makes a really nice, also clinically tested, scar healing salve that contains all natural ingredients that are rich in Vitamin C,
essential fatty acids and amino acids. Read their reviews, women who have used it, love it.
C-Section Scars and the C-Section Shelf
A scar shelf or C-Section Shelf, also known as Mother's Apron, is when the skin that sits over the
c-section scar takes on a small overhang or sagging of the skin.
Many women have a tough time getting rid of this shelf but diet and exercise can help. Your
skin is a very elastic organ and it is possible to reduce that excess skin. It's also possible to get rid of fat
deposits under the shelf, and muscle toning helps as well, but it will take some consistent effort to see
results.
I've found that good muscle tone works the best. Developing a good muscle to fat ratio is what to strive for, in
other words you want to replace any lost fat in your belly with muscle tone.
Using the appropriate c-section recovery exercise can
certainly help tone the muscle and get rid of the fatty deposits under the shelf. If you
can tone your muscles and follow a diet low in fat content you can greatly minimize the effect of the
shelf. There are women who have been determined to get rid of this fatty shelf area and have done it.
