Had an FUT about 6 weeks ago. Is my scar line OK? (Photo)

Question

I had some concerns about my scar line. It seems as though some areas are better than others along it. I refrained from heavy lifting for about 4 weeks. There may have been one or two instances where I did.. There was scabbing for a week or so after.. Just want to make I didn't damage it too much and if it will get better. thanks.

No worries, it is normal the scar after one month PO, the redness and swollen will go away in the next weeks but the wound repair and final scar take months (10-12 months after the surgery). Be patient and follow your doctor's  PO instructions about massage or another recommendation. Good luck.

The scar from FUT is still healing. It appears to be healing correctly. It needs more time to fully heal.

The appearance of redness will improve with time. The scar appears slightly widened on the view from the right. You would be best to review this in person with your doctor.

The scar is a bit red but that should go away in the next month or so. The final appearance of the scar will be evident then
