Hypotropic Scarring at 7 Month Post Op? (photo)

July 29, 2013
Asked By:danny515 in NYC

i am 7 months post op BR....recently i noticed that my scars have taken a turn for the worse. I went to see my PS to discuss my concerns, he gave me injections and told me to get the sillicon sheeting immediately which i started today. My question is why did my scars all the sudden turn hypotropic after all this time? and will the sillcon sheeting help even tho I am 7 months post op? My PS only told me to use cocoa butter, he did not originally stress the sheets..and btw i am not a smoker
