C-section pain

Nicole
My doctor just told me I will be needing a c-section.   I'm perfectly fine with that I just want to know what I can do for pain afterwards.
I had bought tucks pads, dermoplast, and lanacane.  Would I be able to use this on my c-section scar? Would I have to wait a while to use it? 
I'm going to ask my doctor the day of but that won't be for 2 weeks.  I just want some feedback from anyone with suggestions.
