Scars : Scars are inevitable following shoulder surgery. Yes, it is normal to have a 3 inch scar following a rotator cuff surgery, many patients have this result. There are creams that can be rubbed on the scar to reduce the unsightly appearance. Talk to your health care provider about prescribing something to help.

Scar revision: That is not typical, but everyone heals differently. You should see a plastic surgeon for possible scar revision.
