6 months post-op. Are my inframammary scars healing well? Any advice to speed up healing? (photos)

I’m especially concerned about the one appearing darker, because it’s also sitting a bit higher than the breast fold, and it’s the widest of the two. I’m using coconut oil to hidrate and I’m massaging 3-4 times a week. I suspended the silicone sheets because they seemed to make my scars more raised. Should I give silicone sheets another try? Thank you!

Sutures used for closure of wounds following breast augmentation surgery and disolvable and under the skin. Sometimes the knots at the end of the wounds end up sticking out. These will evetually dissolve, but can be trimmed off after two weeks if necessary.
