I had a tummy tuck Feb 2017. 4 weeks after surgery I started using New gel plus silicone strips and scar away strips for about 2 Months, then new gel plus silicone gel for about 2 months and then mederma. I started noticing that my scar was getting wider and darker. Sometimes it feels like it’s actually stretching. I followed up with the plastic surgeon but he said it’s normal and scars take years to heal. He suggested trying silicone gel again. What can I do to treat this scar?
