Thats really not that bad of a scar. it will heal up nice.

My grandfather had a scar just like it, and after it healed it looked like yours but almost all of the red was gone from it. But my girlfriends scar is really bad looking compared to your. She had the same thing done when she was about 1 day old and the scar just never really healed that nicely.

I am by no means complaining about the wounds i got. i know that it could have ended up being a lot worse. a few of my friends have scars from a few years ago that don't even look close to how my turned up. its really amazing what we can do now in terms of leaving as little of a trace as possible.

i would much rather have a line (or zipper) down my stomach then the condition its self,

Imo there is no magic cream or oil. I tried them all. I even tried a $250 scar cream and it didn't work any better than Polysporin cream. Joke's on me.

I have a scar on my arm from a chainsaw where I got 13 stitches on the inside and 21 on the outside (luckily it didn't get me too bad). It's about 6" long. It was a nasty scar before, but I had surgery done where a plastic surgeon (instead of the nip n hack emergency surgeon) cut out the old scar and sewed it back up in some funky way where the stitches weren't visible from the outside. It was called Scar Revision. It healed up really nice after that. I think I have some before and after shots I will try to find for you...

EDIT: Ok I found them...

The spot the plastic surgeon cut out:


Today (11 years after initial wound, 8 years after scar revision):
