What would happen to my scar on my stomach if I were to ever have a baby?

I have a 7 inch scar down the middle of my stomach from an operation i had 2 years ago, what would happen to it if i were to ever have a baby? after it stretches would it ever shrink back to normal? also if you have any tried and trusted methods for getting rid of scars or softening the scar tissue, that would be great as well. it has faded quite a bit over these past 2 years but i’d like it to fade away as much as possible.

Answer #1

theres a possibility that it may grow, seeing how your stomach skin stretches out when your pregnant, and afterwards it may be bigger, and maybe look like a strechmark depending on where the scar is

Answer #2

Most likely, if you become pregnant… it will stretch and become bigger. However, there is no way of telling if it will shrink back to normal (the size it is now) or not, as that depends on the scar, and the person’s body.

Their are several products and methods for reducing the appearance of scars. Vitamin E oil penetrates the skin and encourages collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of scars if applied correctly and regularly. You could try that, and if you see no improvement, or would like more options… I recommend going to a dermatologist. They can suggest the best products or methods for you to use on your scar… as not all scars or skin types are alike.

Answer #3

wait for your scar to heal completely then have a baby

Answer #4

it completely depends on your ksin type, some women have strechier skin than others and thats why some have stretch marks and some dont. As for your scar, it may stretch, it may not. Something that may help with fading scars is vitamin E cream and mederma, yes mederma really works my boyfriend uses it for his stretch marks along his shoulders nd they have faded quite a bit so i strongly suggest it!
