4 months post-op. My scar looks nice until halfway down and then starts widening. Why is that? Do I have a keloid? (photos)

Asked By:x3x in Louisville, KY

Dear Drs I’ve had an arm lift on January 10 2019 The scars looks nice from the arm till half the way down, then the scars starts widening ? Why is that? Plus on my left arm the scar has a lump, I am not an expert but I don’t think it’s Keloid formation. My Dr said that he’s gonna do a scar revision after 4 sessions of laser therapy. Is there a reason behind this? Why laser then scar revision not vice versa? Will the scar widen one more time after the scar revision? Thanks a lot
