An incision line takes many months to soften and mature. Message the scar and get some silicone sheets to place on them. Be patient many times the scar will settle down and be fine. If not a scar revision could be considered after waiting at least 6 months.

Looks like your scar is a bit contracted.  Although difficult to say by looking at only a photo, I think vigorous scar massage to soften the scar would beneficial.  Speak to your surgeon who has seen you in person to get the best recommendation

Thanks for your question. I would recommend visiting your PS and revising your scar. The dermis does seem to be overlapped on that side. All the best,Dr. JSB

Hello Redbone85. Thanks for your post and photos. The incision itself looks swollen and this can be a normal issue after surgery. Most likely, it will improve over time. Perhaps you should talk to your PS about additional therapy to perform and speed the process. Best, Dr. ALDO.
