How long does it usually take for surgical scars to go away?

After two surgeries. Not doing any special treatments, just basic oils

It depends on how much melanin your skin has. I tan easily without burning so my surgical scars are dark. I had a cervical fusion on my neck in 2019 and it's still dark. Also you should be applying sunscreen so that it does not get darker. Honestly as you get older these things do not bother you as much. It just a badge of courage.

My skin has a lot. I'm considered olive toned

Badge of courage indeed

Scars don’t go away. They can become less obvious, but they will always be there.

if the scar bothers you talk to a plastic surgeon. scars don't go away on their own unless the wound wasn't that deep.

they don't go away, may fade alittle

I had surgery done on my hip 8 years ago and I still carry a scar. But I don't look at it daily but I know it's there and I can feel it. It also depends on the type of surgery that you had.

I look at my scars as Battle scars of life. I am also proud of those scars.

And higher doses of vitamin C.
After two weeks what you have is what you’ll have.
But I’ve never tried any special oils.

Still have the scar across my throat from when I was 17, of course it faded a little.
