HEALING & SCAR TISSUE What will my scar look like at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 1 year? Your scar will red, swollen and usually dry at 2 weeks. If there is any drainage, it should be clear and minimal in amount. At 6 weeks, the scar should be completely dry and healed. It will still be red and swollen. At 3 months, your scar will be less swollen and red only on the incision line. At 1 year, the scar will no longer be red, however it will still be visible.
