Hello,
You have a linear scar, and there may be hypertrophy. Due to the destruction of hair roots, hair growth is disturbed. So, there is no hair growth. You may go for scar revision surgery. Consult the plastic surgeon.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regard,
Dr. Ilyas Patel
