I am 3 months post op, and my scars have been healing nicely. However this week, I noticed that my right incision scar almost feels like it is dented/separating. It does not hurt, but it is quite red. My left scar is almost not noticeable. It wasn't like this a week ago? Could I have done something to possibly tear the incision?
