How long would it take for my gall bladder surgery scars to disappear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gradually: These small scars usually slowly become lighter in color and softer over 3-6 months. Can also try some of the drug store medications for scars like "mederma" or "neosporin scar" for example.
