Is It Too Late to Massage Scar Tissue to Break It Up After a TT?

Chicago6997
Hello, I had a full TT with lipo done about 1 yr and a half ago. I still have some hard tissue underneath my lower abs around the incision are. All this time I didn't know an option was to massage the area to break down the scar tissue. I used Mederma cream and it works wonders. I'm just getting back to normal activity since I felt sore around my hips and along my lower belly. Is it too late to massage the scar tissue?
