I had a almost two inches scar under my chin. After 10 weeks is looking like" dog ear." My doctor says that he can fixed opening the incision again become this widther. I m worry at this point because I think the scar is wide enough, so after it is fixed this will be very noticeable. What can be another option to avoid this procedure.? Thank u so much!

Answer: Scar revision There are always pros and cons of surgery and I would continue massaging for a number of months before considering this. All scar revisions lead to new scars and although improvements can be made the scar is always longer. Wide scars occur when there is usually tension on the wound - this is uncommon in this region unless skin has been removed. If no skin has been removed I would not be concerned about the scar being wider. You may need a little liposuction at the edges of the dog ears as well if you choose surgery in the long term.I would definitely massage over the coming months. As others have said tping the ends down can help and elastoplast tape with a silicone strip inside can help to soften the scar.
