Should fade: it is possible that she will have at least a bit of a wrinkle over the long haul. Moderna scar cream can be very helpful

May need more time : you don't mention how long ago the surgery was and if was done laparoscopically. If it wasn't to long ago and it was done laparoscopically (which it sounds like it was) it can take time for the swelling to go down.
