Scars

Hi all!

I've done the sleeve about 3 months ago. I had several post-op complications, but just now I feel almost 100% recovered, getting used to my new life style.

The only thing really bothering me is my incisions scar. They seem much bigger and darker than they suppose to be. I am just wondering if anyone got something similar:

I had two other surgeries through the same incisions due the complications. Maybe that's a reason it doesn't look so good? Did any one have experienced the same and it looked better later?

I have been using silicon on them, it does seem to work but temporarily.

Your thoughts, please!

Cheers.
