Firm for up to 6wks: Typically scarring may take up to 6 weeks before softening. Massage may help if acceptable to your surgeon after the first 2 weeks of healing.

Post surgery care: The amount of swelling needs to be evaluated. Okay to call your surgeon for appointment. Occasionally after surgery a seroma (collection of clear yellow fluid) or a hematoma (collection of old blood) can occur. Good luck, go sooner if you have fever or vomiting.
