Post surgical scars are common and often improve with silicone-based scar gels applied regularly for 8-10 weeks. For faster and more effective results, especially if the scar is firm or thickening, a personalized treatment plan can help , feel free to consult online.

We can see very visble scar over area. Proper history is needed for the better treatment options. If it is fresh scar we can start some medications it can be improved and if it is old have to go for surgery of scar revision.
