It's only 10 days ago so I would expect the scars to still be there. It will sill be healing, bio oil can work but I wouldn't put anything on it just now.

Hi happywithit, my dd has just had an op on her arm, I went to see the plastic surgeon yesterday who recommended massaging vitamin E oil into the scar (after 3 weeks) twice a day - any vit E oil is fine - Bio Oil is good.

She also said the scar will get worse for the next 6 months then will start to fade. So don't be alarmed if your ds has similar.
