Asked By:courtlane in New York, NY

Had scar revision on face after mole removal. A dog ear removed and scar underneath due to indent. Was told to start silicone sheets. Held off, only started at 4 1/2 weeks post surgery. Concerned, as part of incision you see surgical line indent, slight depression next to it. Its filling in the past weeks. Second application of silicone sheet, when I removed it, it pulled up skin. Now depression and line is more pronounced. Will new skin fill in or is that part of healing over with?
