Severe brachioplasty & back lift scars. Can these be minimized or revised? (Photo)

Exuberant409609Jun 13, 2022
I had a brachioplasty and upper back lift 7 months ago and the scars are scaring me. I love the surgical results other than the scarring. My surgeon used stitches which resulted in these wide and jagged scars. I had my TT and BL with a different surgeon who used glue and the scars are thin pale threads and were never this red or raised. I know it's been a short time but I am very concerned. Vitamin E and silicone creams/strips have done little to nothing to help. TIA!
