What is the best way to fix a white and widened scar? (Photo)

June 20, 2023
Asked By:Purrfectme in New York, NY

I got hairline lowering surgery done around 2 months ago by a surgeon that clearly is a beginner! My scar has turned white, is widening and is very noticeable. I can't leave home without a hat/scarf covering it. Im so embarrassed. I don't know if I need a revision, hair grafts or is there some other options? Please help someone, anyone!
