I had an arm lift in February and at first the incisions looked great. Now I’m three months post op and my scars are thick, raised, and red/pink. I asked my surgeon about them at my follow up appointment and she said that the scars never heal well and that she informed me of this prior to doing the procedure. I’m trying to find out if I can revise them or if there’s something I can to improve their appearance. My tummy tuck, breast lift, backlift, and thigh lift did not scar like this.
