Hi, Congratulations. I recommend eating foods high in zinc, vitamin C, vitamin A, and protein (lean meats, colorful fruits and veggies) to support the body's healing process.
Vitamin E and A can help with tissue repair and regeneration. Collagen and peptides can also improve skin integrity. The body should heal and you can use over the counter scar creams to help reduce appearance. It will take 1-2 years before the scar begins to fade.

New Zealand Manuka Honey applied to skin 3 times daily for 7-10 days. Do not eat if breast feeding.

I had a C-section at 29 and I started walking asap and taking supplements like immunocal that speed up healing after any injury or surgery.
