Hi from my own experience it is quite normal.keep Puttting on the Bio Oil. My scar still changing after 6 month post operation. Keep do the exercise daily. otherwise The whole area will feel tight& hard to raise you hand. During the middleof 2nd phase of weekly Chemothreapy I feel so weak then I stop do the arm exercise . Now I have start from the ground lever to build my strength again. It is not that easy to reach the privous level. I have learned from this mistake .

My plastic surgeon got me to buy these silicon strips on line from Melbourne and they were amazing at flattening and softening it. They are Silgel made by Nagor Ltd. the one I got is TGS 1510 about $60 and you cut it to size.

I think around 3 months. I just found the company's name...Surgiplas Medical phone 03 95286300

My double mastectomy scar is 4 months old. The thing I do is massage in Invite Vitamin E cream at least 3 times a day for 2 mins each time. I put on the timer on my phone to make sure it is a good massage. I swim or do Aqua aerobics most days and find it helps stretch the whole area. Lots of cream after each swim. Scar still raised and reddish in the centre it takes time.Good luck.
