Scar Revision Post-Op 2 Week? (photo)
Hi, I just had scar revision on a cluster of depressed scarring on my forehead. My doctor suggested he cut out the scarred skin from the and suture the skin back together. He said that he was make the incision all the natural creases in my forehead. So what would result would be a very thin, if barely noticeable forehead line. Right now, post op 14 days, i have pen thick incision line thats red, and lumpy. Typically will the incision line fill out, become narrow, and flatten over time?

Appearance and Care of Forehead Scar 2 weeks Following Revision
Right now your healing appears satisfactory. The swelling you feel now is normal and will slowly improve with time. The pink color is also normal for this time period, and will slowly fade. The skin closure looks indented/depressed because of swelling in the adjacent skin edges; as the swelling resolves the scar will look less indented. You will not achieve the final result for 9-12 months.
Sun protection is very important.
Scar massage can be started in the next 1-2 weeks.
