Hello,
Some people have a tendency toward forming prominent or hypertrophic scars. If you have other scars like this one on your body show your surgeon. Early on, steroid injections and silicone sheeting can sometimes encourage less prominent scars to form. My tendency is to use less invasive things early on to try to get the scar to improve. I do these things over the first few months to a year and watch the response.
If this scar is the only problematic one you have, scar revision surgery after time and other treatments have been tried might be beneficial. Scar improvement requires patience and a bit of time . Get in with a surgeon with whom you can see "eye to eye" (if you don't have one already) and plan on a few visits over a year.
