Hello, actually it depends on how long did it ake after your operation. Generally we need to see the 1st year result to comment on scars, if it is normal or requires additional scar revision?

Scott C. Lindsay, DO · Answer

Thanks for your question! It would be helpful to know how far out from surgery you are. I would also suggest addressing your concerns with your surgeon. It's possible that a scar revision or some minor fat grafting might be necessary. Good luck!

Karl William Schwarz, MD · Answer

I wouldn't worry about it now and make sure everything heals well, but at 12 months I would see your surgeon again to see if it needs to be revised.

That area should change quite a bit over the first year, but if you still have some problem with the shape at the 12 month mark I would see your surgeon to see if a revision can be performed. It is my guess that it can be and you will likely need something done but give it time and make sure you are massaging the scar with silicone to help soften it.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

After surgery there may be contour irregularities such as puckering or folds.  These should smooth out over the first few months after surgery as the tissues heal.  Without knowing how far you are from surgery it's difficult to give an opinion on your healing.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

You did not state how far out from surgery you are. if you are early, it may settle out nicely. if you are out at least 6 months, it may need some adjusting. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
