6 months post op brachioplasty, my scar is still red and bumpy. Will this eventually go away?

mboyle2014
I had brachioplasty on April 11, 2014. I was told by the doctor that when I put my arms down the scar would not be seen. However, the scar from my elbow to my armpit right in the "back" of my arms and is still red and bumpy after 6 months. Will this eventually go away?
