Asked By:Lyhnyuh123 in Asbury Park, NJ

It's been 3 months since my procedure and surgeon is out of the country. I was told that scarring should start to fade away After the 1st month but my scar lines are still red and extremely visible. I do apply a scar ointment every day/night and I haven't seen much improvements since last month. Is my healing process just slow or should I be concerned that something has gone wrong? Please help.
