What do I put on a 20cm surgical incision located on my lower abdomen to heal the wound and leave a barely-there scar?
This is a cosmetic procedure.
Thanks.

Consult your surgeon!
There are several good treatments for scars now - I know Mederma is a good one. Also, check with the pharmacist - they usually have good suggestions.
Do not get the incision tan for at least one year- it will be darker than the rest of your abdomen forever.

Just gentle soap and water. Don't scrub, that will aggravate it. They have an ointment called Mederma that reduces the appearance of a scar. You can get it pretty much anywhere- and while it is expensive, it does work. I've had 2 c-sections and you can hardly tell. Good luck!

if it has been cosmetic surgery than it will heal up good for you without having to do anything else about it

If your Dr's. knew what they were doing,I would think do whatever they suggested to care for it but otherwise leave it alone.
