✨ 7 Months Post C-Section — Scar Update & Your Top Questions Answered!
I can’t believe it’s been 7 months since my C-section 🫶
In this reel, I’m showing what my scar looks like now and answering the 4 questions I get asked constantly:
1️⃣ When to start scar massage?
👉 Usually once your incision is fully closed and cleared by your healthcare provider (often around 6-8 weeks).
2️⃣ When to start using silicone strips?
👉 Once healed — these help reduce scar thickness and redness. I love using them overnight for consistency. Make sure to place on clean skin.
3️⃣ Does a scar roller hurt?
👉 It shouldn’t! It’s about firm but comfortable pressure — you want to stimulate tissue, not bruise it.
4️⃣ What helps with numbness or tension?
👉 Gentle massage, skin rolling, desensitisation with textures, and movement — but also scar needling is fantastic! I’d definitely recommend trying it. I’ve had it done myself and have plenty of patients who’ve benefited from this technique.
I’ve been using .bod products here and they’ve truly been incredible!
Your scar is a badge of strength, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with tightness, pain, or restriction.
Small, consistent steps can make a huge difference in how your body feels and moves 💪
