Hi, I had my surgery 14 months ago. As you can see the scars are in a very bad spot plus I get soreness and pain in them frequently. They are red and causing me a lot of distress and depression. I did not leave on good terms with my surgeon and don't want her doing anything to them. What options could I possibly pursue to help the appearance and pain? The scars are also raised slightly especially on the ends.
