Nobody explained to me what my C-section scar might look like after. So let me break it down.
1 — Faded and well-healed. Flat, thin, barely there.
2 — Hypertrophic. Raised and red, but stays within the incision.
3 — Keloid. Grows beyond the incision — lumpy, irregular.
4 — Depressed. The tissue underneath pulls inward.
5 — Hyperpigmented. Flat but darker than the skin around it.
6 — Vertical. Runs up and down — usually from an emergency delivery.
7 — T-incision. Both directions in one scar.
Comment the number that matches yours. I read every single one.
And comment PHASE 1 if you want my Early Recovery Guide — because understanding your scar is where recovery starts.
