Hello,
I’m now 19 months post and I have still raised incision scars, at least the right side. Left side almost completely flat.
What I wanna ask is what’s up if the scar tissue of the raised scar gets stimulated in some situations like cold, or going swimming like the nipple would get stimulated and pinches together, the scar gets stimulated kinda too, pinches a bit and raises even more ?
No problems with the left, flat scar so I think the reason is because the right scar is raised.

Thanks

It sounds like you may just have a hypertrophic scar, which could be treated with a cortisone injection to get it to settle down. You should speak to your surgeon--at 19 months, it's not likely to change much on its own.
