How long post-op should scars be red/purple and raised? (Photo)

Asked By:Renard in Portland, OR

It has almost been two years since I had a BA and I'm concerned about my scars. They're still VERY visible (I understand in many cases they never dissappear completely). They seem larger, wider ad brighter then they should at this point but I'm not sure what's normal. There are also a few bumps. Occasionally, especially after wearing a bra all day, the scars become really uncomfortable and itchy. I've talked to my Dr. several times and she says to just massage them. Also steroid injections didn't work.
