This is a hard one to answer depends on so many factors.. Like is the incision open? how much? is there tunnels under the incision? are you diabetic? Are you taking protein?.. I'm three months post-op abdominoplasty and my incision is just now beginning to close.. I know some that have had this take much much longer....I honestly think my pumping protein helped speed my new tissue growth. I wish you well and good luck I know how depressing and frustrating this is.
