Do incisions soften up?
Usually, yeah. And the color usually fades in time, too. Most of the time, you can see a really big difference in just a couple months

I am super fair and even 9 years later you can still see the incision scars from my first rotator cuff surgery.
I did not want to look like I had been chased (and temporarily caught) by a random slasher across my belly, so I rub in a very rich and thick cream on them each night. They are a creepy purple color against my very fair skin, but I hope like my other scars, they fade if I treat them daily without fail!
Thankfully one is in my belly button, but the other 4 are very visible. They are soft though and I will be 9 weeks out Monday.
