Scarring thickness 10 weeks post-op, will my scars become thinner as I heal? (Photos)

Scar recovery is a process.  It can take 12-18 months for scars to settle and "mature" (the term used by plastic surgeons).  During this time it is important to follow the instruction of your plastic surgeon with respect to scar therapies (taping, massages, scar products) to insure that the scar improves maximally.  If at the end of the scar maturation period the surgeon feels that scar revision surgery (often performed under local anesthesia) is warranted, then he or she can discuss the timing for it.  Best of luck!

Remember that it takes scars a good year to mature. They always look red and raised initially and as time passes, they tend to flatten and fade some. At this point, you can look into application of silicone gel (like Silagen) to help improve the appearance of the scars. You can even ask about treatments with radiofrequency devices, like Venus Viva, to help scars look better. Hope this helps!
