Answer: Scar fading Typically it takes a scar a full year to mature, at which time the color of the scar has faded. Everyone heals differently and people with darker skin can have darker scars. If at 6 months your scar is still quite dark, you may want to consult with your surgeon to see if you would be a good candidate for a scar revision. Good luck!

Answer: Scars Thank you for your question. Typically scars take 1-1.5 years to mature. You can help speed it along with using scar creams, lasers and if needed kenalog injections. I would recommend you follow up with your surgeon and see what they recommend to help it heal better and faster. Best of luck to you.
