When is the right time for Fluorouracil and Kenalog to be injected in a scar that is healing? (photos)

Sweetli2000
I'm 4 months post mommy makeover. I had an appointment with my dermatologist about a month ago and I showed him my scars, he said they were hypertrophic and that I needed to start injecting 5 fluorouracil and Kenalog ASAP. I visited my Plastic Surgeon and he said that my scars were fine and that I didn't need to inject anything. Time has passed and my scars seem the same, bright pink, some places purple, some places more raised than others, Even though I trust my Plastic surgeon I'm confused :/
