Are my scars normal for 8 weeks post op? (Photo)

Hi there, Thank you for your question. Yes, this color of scar can be normal for 8 weeks. It takes scars almost an entire year to lighten and fade, silicone is a great treatment for scars. Best, realdrsix

Your incisions look appropriate for the time since surgery. It is normal to sometimes see an increase in redness between 6 and 12 weeks as the inflammation of healing heightens. It will probably not be effective to use bio oil along with silicone tape, as it may prevent the tape from staying in place.  Use the tape, and massage is also helpful. Your deep sutures may take several months to fully dissolve depending on what type of suture was used, so feeling some thickening under the incision is also normal. Hope this helps!

Yes your scars are healing normally for this stage. Two things will help your scars - silicone scar sheets and time. I recommend using silicone scar sheets daily, for as many hours per day as you can. Personally I prefer the Cica  Care brand as it is thicker and therefore more effective than some other brands.  I see you are in Missisauga area, this brand is available at many drug stores if  it is not available at your Plastic Surgeon's office.
You look like you will have good scars to look forward to!
Best wishes.
