C section incision

I’m not sure what is even normal at this point I’m 3 almost 4 weeks pp and my incision started off looking good most doctors said it looks great and they could barely see anything. Since I’ve been home it’s been healing but it feels so bumpy and hard when I touch it. Not flat like I’ve heard other ppl say. Hoping that everything is good at my apt next week.

Mines hard in some places, I’m 7w pp. my midwife said I could be scar tissue

It's mainly scar tissue you will feel, don't stress as you are still fresh post surgery, I'm 10 weeks post surgery and mine still is lumpy in places, once it's healed you can massage the tissue to break it down so it's not so painful and hard

I’m almost 11 months pp, mine felt like that too but now I can barely even feel it. Feels so smooth so don’t worry it’s still pretty soon to make judgement on that, if it started off that well most likely it will just go back to that once it’s fully healed xx

I probably wouldn’t use this until you’re further along with healing (and maybe ask for clearance from your doctor first) but Vitamin E oil helps to break up and soften scar tissue, and increase cell regeneration. I have gnarly, very deep scars on my thigh from an accident and the oil really helped soften them. You do have to put it on every day and massage gently, but it’s worth it.

4.5 years post op and my scar is very much visible and still kinda lumpy like you’re describing. It is slowly fading though
