Can I or should I use Embrace longer than the recommended 6-8 weeks after a scar revision?

I had a scar revision on my collarbone 7 weeks ago. I started using Embrace after 2 weeks when my stitches and bandage was removed. I’m on week 5 right now with the Embrace. I am very happy with the progress. My question is can I or should I use Embrace longer than the recommended 6-8 weeks, and if so for how long?
