2 Weeks post op Facelift. Will the bright pink, raised scar under my chin go away? (photos)

Asked By:vjade

It's been exactly 2 weeks since my lower facelift; I've been healing quite well except for under my chin where there is a one inch scar that is pink and raised. I'm wondering if it's a Keloid and if it will flatten out and get paler eventually??
