Just curious. C-section mamas, come on in....
I'm just being nosey here because it seems I'm in the minority when I ask other moms who had C's this question.
Did you have staples or stitches from your C?
I had disolveable plastic surgery stitches (or at least that's how my dr. explained them to me). And now I have a very thin, very faint red line, and in some spots, it's back to flesh color. My dr. told me in a year, you won't be able to see the scar.

I had staples and still have a scar almost three years later.

I had staples. Now a year later...it's a faint white line...you can hardly see it. I didn't use any scar cream either...

Staples for me. My incision is still pretty fresh - one half is back to flesh color and the other looks like a purple streak.

Re: Just curious. C-section mamas, come on in....
I had both. Stitches on the inside (ones that dissolve) and staples on the outside.

Re: Just curious. C-section mamas, come on in....
I had dissolving stitches. I had them for a previous surgery and you can hardly notice the scar. I'm hoping it's the same for this one.

Re: Just curious. C-section mamas, come on in....
I had staples and honestly, I was looking at my scar the other day, it's not that bad at all. It's a small white line but not very noticable. My DH said he doesn't notice it at all.

Re: Just curious. C-section mamas, come on in....
Wow, I am surprised that so many of you ladies had staples....
I had a c/s with my first and did not have staples. I was sewn up and had steri-strips over it. They basically fell off on their own, and at my 2 week pp check up, the doc took off those that hadn't fallen off on their own.
2 years later, my c/s scar is hardly noticeable. It's faded so much and it only visible if I'm really looking for it.

I had staples. My line also is red in some areas and skin colored in others. It is very faint and hopefully goes away!

Re: Just curious. C-section mamas, come on in....
I had staples, and the scar is red in some areas, and back to my skin color in others, weird. Hope the red parts clear up soon. 14months later......

I had disolveable plastic surgery stitches too and I can barely see my scar. It's there but I really have to stare to see it.

Re: Just curious. C-section mamas, come on in....
There will always be a scar IMO...but I refused to have staples and had stitches..which I had a huge reaction to.

I had staples, and my incision opened up, I never look to even see if there is a scar though.
