Well, I really just depends on how fast your skin bounces back from scarring. I personally Have one that is bigger that is skill a big. I'm sorry I couldn't give a straight answer but If I had to guess I would say give them a year or 2
This is quite a difficult question to answer because scars fade at their own pace and act differently on different skin types. My advice is to be patient with yourself. The most important this is that your healing and you should be very proud of yourself for this. My guess for your scars it is going to be quite a while but not long before you see a visible difference. Hang in there! I promise you, your scars do not define you and you shouldn’t let them. Eventually they will fade but until them. Be patient and stay strong xx
