Wait.: At 3 wks ur lac has healed ; maturing. Use sunblock/keep out of sun. Massage area with aloe vera/vit e to prevent adhesion. Scar revision may not b nec. Scarring is determined by injury, repair done if needed ; ur dna. B4 considering sx, give it a good 6 mo. See a derm. Earlier if scar is not looking better over time. There are laser txs, bleaching cremes, injections that may help avoid sx.

Can't really get RID: Of scars, but you can reduce their noticibility. Use a cream called mederma to reduce the appearance of scars.

Be patient!: Much to early to worry about your final scar appearance....Takes up to 2 years for final scar maturation. Hopefully a skilled physician did the repair. Best to minimize sun exposure and use a silicone based topical scar product. Ask your plastic surgeon for a recommendation. Many are readily available in pharmacies.
