Six months to one yr: I wait for the original scar to fully mature before revising the scar. Depending upon the age it takes six months to one year for the scar to fully mature.

6 months to a year: Scar remodeling physiology typically takes 6 months to a year to get to close to final appearance to determine if scar revision is even necessary. Early treatment includes massage, pressure, avoid sun exposure, silicone sheating and topical aids.
