I consider them battle wounds and i guess femaies are concerned,

I didn't have noticeable scarring from my RNY, but I had A LOT of it after plastic surgery. I've read it can take up to two years for the scars to lighten and flatten as much as they're going to. The scars from my lower body lift (Aug 2018) are looking pretty good at this point, but it's been over a year. The ones from the rest (March 2019) are still pretty red. I'm sure they'll lighten, though. Yours probably will as well if it's only been three months.
