Are These Scars Normal for 3 Months Post-BA? (photo)

March 29, 2013
Asked By:Sleepless in Turquoise in Palm Beach, Florida

My scars are pretty flat but they are very dark red. I am hoping this will fade, but I'm concerned and having trouble finding info on what my scars should look like at this stage. I am almost exactly 3 months post-op. Are my scars normal? I've never had any surgery before so I don't know how well I scar or heal. There were no external stitches.
