Yes, I was just searching the same question and a dude on Redit named P1Andy said;

"Ha I'm finally relevant, my PhD is on this! The answer is A - your scar will scale up as you grow (roughly). This is a good example - this young man has had an operation as an infant, that has left as scar that has scaled up over time."

"scientific explanation: - your normal skin cells are constantly dividing, not just as you grow up but over your lifetime, squeezing out new collagen and breaking down the old collagen that forms the base layer of your skin in a constant cycle. Your skin cells in your scar will do the same thing - except they divide and form more scar tissue instead of forming normal tissue. The mechanism of why these scar cells persist instead of returning to normal cells is unknown, and is what I'm trying to find out!"
