How Long Does A Scar Post Skin Grafting Take To Heal?

Hi I had a skin graft 5 weeks ago on side of the nose to remove Cancer lesion (bcc). It s healing very slowly and is looking as if it will scar, how long does it take to heal as I think it should be healing faster, unless the surgeon messed it up? It s hard for me to go around looking like this with a scar on my nose. Carol.

Hello

I can understand your concern

Usually it needs some months to be healed but it depends on several causes such as the skin damage and the superficial of the graft. So don't worry it will heal with no doubt
