Robey Scar question

With all my incisions I have never had one that is tick and "robey"....until now....I have 2 areas that are real bumpy/robey.  I am hoping this is flatten out.....Has anyone had a scar that was robey, did smooth out/flatten out?

Thanks!

Hi Ruth, what does your plastic surgeon say to do? Is this when people apply silicone strips to flatten out their scar or do you have to wait until it's healed to do this?

I hope it flattens out - and probably it will if your other scars did.

Hi Skylar,
This is a bit more than a "raised scar"......I've used the silicone strips on raised scars and had TERRIFIC results.
I hope to see the surgeon tomorrow and I'll ask him......the nurse told me today she thinks it will flatten out but could be wider than the other areas.  I'm sure my surgeon will have a good solution.
Thanks for the suggestion.......it reminded me I have to buy some more strips for my inner thighs.

And yes, you can't put the silicon on untill after the steri-strips are off and the incision is basically healed (for me it's usually around week 3 or 4).

Have a good night!

Hi Ruth
 glad to see u r feeling better , u r pix looks great.
I had ropey type suture line on lmy thighs and they flattened  out and look great and I never put anything on them

My right armpit is like that but not really bad. It's just a little more raised and wider than the rest of the arm incision.
