Cheek scar revision excision, healing properly? (Photos)

April 26, 2017
Asked By:Holls77 in Chicago, IL

I had a burn scar on my cheek excised almost a month ago and it is currently depressed and still discolored. I know it takes awhile to remodel but I'm mainly concerned about the indentation, will this fill in over the next few months? Area is still slightly hard and tad swollen. Is there anything I should be doing to help the healing process? Surgeon just said Aquaphor, please advise.
