Thank you for sharing your question.  I would recommend conservative treatment first with silicone scar creams and silicone sheets to help flatten and soften the hypertrophic scar.  As this point steroid injections into the scar may prove useful to help prevent worsening.  Speak to your surgeon as they can offer treatment recommendations or refer you to a specialist as needed.  Hope this helps.
