C section scar sunken on one side?

Does anyone else have this? I'm 14 weeks postpartum...the left hand side is almost flat & faded quite well into a lighter pink colour, the right hand side is quite 'sunken' in and darker toned scar..is it just taking longer to heal on that side?!

When you are being sewn up, it is common for the surgeon to pull the stitches tighter on one side as they finish closing the incision. That's how it was explained to me when I raised the same query with my midwife.

I'm currently going through a c section scar problem too but with my one it's that it still hurts, pains, and it is still got a big swollen pouch on my belly. I can't even do normal exercise because it hurts that badly. I'm almost 4 months postpartum.

Hello, posting an update... I'm now 19 weeks postpartum. The sunken in effect has reduced abit as I think I have lost some fat from the area, I also get pain when doing exercise now

I have this!!! I've tried googling it but nothing seems to be coming up that's helpful. Im7 months PP and it's my scar is very deep one side, also the skin hanging over it seems to be dropping one side more than the other?! I've lost 1.5stone since I've had the baby so it's gone down but still noticible! Also my scar is quite sore to touch still?! X
