I had a C-section 5 years ago and a VBAC 8 months ago. I saw went for a mummy mot just over a month ago and she felt around my stomach and said I have a lot of scar tissue and gave me a cup to do cup massage at home. I went back after a month and she said it hasn’t really improved she wants to see me again but not until August.

Is there anything I can do to help it quicker? A friend of mine went to a lady who does scar therapy and she said she did a ultrasound on her first then did cupping with a machine.

My problem isn’t the scar it’s self that’s nice and neat doesn’t bother me it’s my stomach from my belly button down to my scar Ive had painful sex for the past 5 year bad bloating which my mummy mot said it could be due to the scar tissue and have most pain around my belly button when I press it.

My wife swears by silicone scar tape, she had a mummy makeover in April and the scar healing so far is really good.
