I had a complete hip operation on may 1st. july 1st it will be 2 months.. the top of my leg has scar tissue. is there anything i can do to get rid of this scar tissue besides massaging it?

You should ask your physician,a dermatologist or your surgeon who has seen your scar this question. In time this scar, if it's not a keloid, will shrink in width and become more pale.
