Second C Section Recovery

Just wondering how you healed from a second c section?

My first was nearly 5 years ago and healed to a near invisible line with no overhang. I did go back to pre baby weight first time around. I’m currently 5 months post partum with number two. They didn’t go through the same incision. It’s very close but I do have a double line above or below most of my original scar. Its much more pronounced this time around (still 9lbs off pre baby weight and aware I may never get back to my old weight and even if I do composition will likely have changed) Slight overhang but looks much redder and deeper, despite it being a second scar and not the same one cut.

Just curious to know if scars improved lots after the 5 month mark for people who have had a second c section. In all honesty I was expecting it to heal like my first or better. Given my first was a category 1 emergency with threat to both of our lives and this was a planned. But it definitely looks worse than my first section did at this point.
