Hello I had hairline lowering surgery about three months ago. The scar heeled very well for the first month it looked very good but after 5 weeks I start noticing the scar stretch. Now I'm so unhappy, I spent a lot of money to fix my forehead now I can't even look at it because of the scars. Here are the pictures of my scar. What can I do? Thanks
