Not really...but: You could try different scar cream/remedies. I personally do not believe that there is a miracle fix, but I do suggest vitamedmd scar reduction cream. It won't hurt and may help. With repeat c-sections, i always take out the previous scar and if there is a keloid present, will inject kenalog (triamcinolone) steroid into the incision after closure which may help prevent keloid formation.

Depends: Scars can be unsightly because they're red, dark, thick, wide, indented, or some combination. Except for keloid and thick scars most improve over the 1st 6 to 12 mos. Silicone ointment can help the rednesss and flatten scars, colostrum is useful in early scars, bleaching creams can improve darkness, and massaging will help if started early. A consultation is indicated; injections may be needed.
