Hello, I did the operation on 5th of september 2017 and now we are in April 2018. I would like to know if my scars look normal. I know it’s not. I used for a couple of months a silicone gel as i have a keloid prone skin. Do i need to do something for my scars? Do i risk a keloid or already have it? I can’t understand how did the scar extend this much as it’s supposed to be a fine white line. I also want to know what are these small white dots in the middle of the nipple. Thank you very much.
