How long before your scar was invisible (almost)?

indy_chic · October 2011

Almost 5 months PP, my scar is still quite purple. How long did it take before you noticed a considerable difference in its appearance?

My OB suggested no healing agents but I'm wondering if it would help.

I got pg again when my DDs were 14 months, but by then my scar was a dark pink color. I never made it to "silver" or "invisible" status--I also formed a large keloid scar where my incision was so that might contribute as to why mine stayed "colorful"

Mine still looks terrible and I have a 16 month old -- it's bright red and very jagged.

I have a keloid. Everyone scars differently.

My scar continues to get lighter, but it is still visible one year later.

Mine is over 3.5 years old, and is finally faded. It's only been faded for the past six months or so. I have really pale skin, I don't know if that makes it more noticeable ...

Mine has faded quite a bit but you can still see it and I am 11 months pp

I am 6? months out and mine is just starting to fade a little.

I'm sure mine is lighter in color, but it's still ugly and very obvious.

I have had two csect and the scar is invisible to the point that you can only see it if you look really closely. I dont even notice it in the mirror. Not sure at what point this happened, my dd is 3.5 and ds is 6.

Invisible? Pssh. Mine is still dark pink and very noticeable. I am fair-skinned.

I have a friend who says she can 'hardly see' her scar any more at 6m. But she tans like a sonofabitch...maybe that's why.

Mine is pretty much invisible now, except at the very edges/sides. I am also very pale.

RumbleLina · October 2011

Almost 9 months out and it is starting to fade. I would just suggest patience on your part.

We have babies born on the same day! Scar is much lighter, but still visible.

2 yrs PP and mine is still visible, but almost skin colored. It will never be invisible, but DH and I are the only ones who ever see it, so who cares. I've been able to rock a bikini since day 1 lol.

I'm almost 15 months PP and 1/2 is a think pencil line and hard to see and 1/2 is raised and pink. It's not as obnoxious as it was...but it's definitely still visible. I hate it.
