Surgical scar sometimes can not be completely disappear with medical treatment and may require cosmatic surgery for better results but Before making own decisions i would suggest you to visit dermatologist to get it examined There are various medicines available for these scars Your dermatologist may give you placentrax gel , there are other options too But it can only be decided by a professional dermatologist after physical observation and checkup
