Unfortunate.: People heal differently and some end up with big thick scar tissue. Some may consider scar revision, which is cutting out the old scar, but you may end up with a similar scar once you heal. Speak with your doctor, consult a general or plastic surgeon, and best of luck!

Options: At 1 year, the scar should be mature. If the appearance is less than satisfactory, options include surgical revision or steroid injection. Everyone heals differently and some people are prone to problematic scarring. However, if the current scar bothers you, a revision may improve it ands a reasonable request..

Unsightly scar : Everyone heals differently and genetics play a role in wound healing and scarring. At one year, a scar is considered mature. Options include a revision, 1540 nm laser treatment, and steroid injections with or without 5fu (fluorouracil). It would be helpful to see an image of your scars. Treatment depends on their appearance. Are the dark, raised, red, and/or itchy? Are both sides unsightly or just one?
