Can a massage help indents after lipoma removal?

May 27, 2017
Asked By:courtlane in New York, NY

This is repeat surgery of lipoma that came back a few times. Not only do I have an indent like last time, but it seems to go deeper in one area making it worse than last scar. It's four months post surgery. Would massaging scar area help? Would massaging help some tissue move in that area? Also, scar very red for 4 months out. I used silicone sheets, but not as much as last time, as I felt after taking it off it looked redder. Sometimes I put vaseline on as I read hydration helps.
