Hello, I had a Gyno surgery about 9 months ago, that included removal of mammary glands and liposuction.. I am worried about the scars as shown in the pictures.. They are not painful or itchy at all, but they are raised and somewhat firm. I did use silicon gel after the surgery but stopped about 2 months ago. They are not growing,but they don't seem to shrink either. Please advise.. Thanks..
