Wax after 3rd degree tear?

[VanillaCheesecake]

How long did you wait after your 3rd degree tear before getting a bikini wax (Brazilian or similar)?

I need one, it feels ok down there... but I'm scared to cause damage. I'm 2 months postpartum...

Thank you!

Oh my days just leave it alone.

It won't do any damage!

Depends how well healed it is! Mine was well healed by then so would have one. Get a mirror and have a look and feel. If it's red and or raised don't even think about it. Purple/ silver and flush with the rest of the skin, it's ok. But will hurt more than usual.

Be very careful because of the risk of an infection getting into an open pore after the waxing.

I took a good year.

I waited a year! Im sure it would've been okay before then but I just couldn't bear the idea of it.

I'd wait a bit longer to be sure, I mean, it's not essential is it? I've not had a 3rd degree tear - but blimey - second degree was bad enough.

You don't need one

I'd give it a good while longer if I were you. Depends on the extent and placement of the scar tissue but you leave yourself very open to infection with waxing anyway. Waxing after a recent injury to the area isn't a great idea.

Oh goodness, this title made my eyes water!

Beauty therapist here- leave it a while longer. Six weeks is the absolute minimum time but really, having had a CS, just wait.

Carefully shave if you absolutely have to, but leave the waxing for another couple of months at least . Please!

Sorry mixed up posts here, didn't mean CS scar - but no matter, advice is still to wait!

Thank you I appreciate your responses.

Don't worry I know it is not in anyway essential. I am just blessed with a lot of hair down below and it can get me down a bit. Silly I know.

I will leave it a good few more months

Ouch! OP are you insane? I've thankfully never had a third degree tear, but I could bear to even think about this

I have RTFT by the way - I'm just adding my 'ouch's to the thread!

I'm basically the yeti lady, I am very very furry.
I also don't give a fuck and I'm not waxing my Fanny for anyone.
Give yourself a break. Quick trim with the lady thatcher if it's getting uncomfortable, but step away from the wax!

And congrats on the baby

Thank you everyone I promise I won't put any wax down there
