Will a cesarean section cosmetic line leave scars?

Cosmetic thread is actually catgut. Absorbable thread is used for intradermal suture. If cosmetic thread is used for suture, the incision recovery will be better, and generally speaking, no obvious scar will be left. It is just a thin line. However, we must pay attention to the care after wound suture to avoid infection. The diet should be light and eat more fruits and vegetables.

1. Beauty lines are generally catgut. Generally speaking, if intradermal sutures are performed, absorbable sutures are used. One characteristic of intradermal suture is that there are exposed lines at both ends. Generally, if the incision heals well, the lines can be removed without affecting healing. If the wound does not heal well, the lines can be left out and will be absorbed by themselves. Relatively speaking, absorbable lines are all catgut, so they are also foreign bodies. Some people will have rejection reactions, so there is nothing wrong with removing them.

2. Keep the abdominal incision clean

Within 2 weeks after the operation, avoid getting the abdominal wound wet. Full-body showers are prohibited and sponge baths are used instead. You can take a shower after that, but you must not take a tub bath until the lochia is completely discharged. Do not get the wound wet or dirty before it heals. If it gets wet, it must be wiped dry immediately and coated with betadine. Rinse the vulva 1 to 2 times a day, and be careful not to let dirty water enter the vagina; those with flat wounds should use breathable paper tape. If you are a new mother who is prone to allergies or scarring, you can use silicone according to the doctor's instructions. If the wound becomes red, swollen, hot, or painful, do not squeeze or apply any application patches on your own. Instead, seek medical attention promptly to avoid wound infection and delayed treatment, which would otherwise spend your entire maternity leave treating the wound.

3. Get out of bed and move around as early as possible

Don't use pain from an injury as an excuse to avoid exercise. As long as your physical strength allows, you should get out of bed and move around as early as possible after giving birth, and gradually increase the amount of activity. This not only increases intestinal peristalsis and promotes uterine repositioning, but also avoids intestinal adhesions, thrombophlebitis, and lower limb thrombosis. When getting out of bed, lie on your side first, use your hands to support your body to get up, and avoid sitting up directly with abdominal strength. Before coughing, laughing or getting out of bed, use your hands and a belly band to fix the wound area.

4. Avoid eating foods that cause bloating

Gastrointestinal function will gradually recover about 24 hours after cesarean section. After the gastrointestinal function recovers, you should eat liquid food for one day, such as egg soup and rice soup. Avoid eating milk, soy milk, large amounts of sucrose sweets, fruits and other bloating foods. After the intestinal gas is cleared, switch to semi-liquid food for 1 to 2 days, such as porridge, noodle soup, wontons, etc., and then switch to a normal diet.
