Ear incisions weren't treated early as requested. At 6 mos they are hypertrophic. Can I leave untreated until revision?

My PS wouldn't treat my ear incisions early on. They were red, raised shortly after necklift. He said they shouldn't be injected before 6 mos. A facial PS I met said they are hypertrophic as a result, very far forward and below ears and too red. I don't want to see my PS again, so can I safely leave these alone until a revision necklift in 6 more mos? Can a scar revision fully correct the lumpy scars both in front and in back of ears? What causes prolonged redness and can I treat at home?
