My plastic surgeon reccommends silicone based ointment/cream and scar massage. Basically, massage the silicone ointment in circular motions twice a day for a few minutes until the scar looks like you want. The massage helps flatten out the scar and the silicone is an amazing skin protectant. I found silicone products at Wal-Mart or CVS in a small tube that cost about $8. There are more expensive items, but what I used worked, but I cannot remember the name. It may have been new skin, but there was definitely "skin" in the name of the product. It was near Mederma and other scar treatments.

Do research and try something. I am happy with the results for my scar.
