Answer: If you are having issues after surgery, especially with "redness" you should contact your doctor.
It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results. If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor. There is no way to tell if your surgery is "on track" at 9 weeks.
It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen. In general you should be able to wear a helmet after one week but check with your doctor.
