It is very early days, but give it some time and the scars will heal and shrink in size. Remember that a lot of healing needs to take place internally beneath what you can see and you just need to give it time.
I had my op early 2020 and my two incision scars are barely visible, they are just very small faint lines. After surgery my incisions where glued, and not stitched or stapled.
