I Had a Breast Reduction Three Years Ago, and Strips Left a Scar From Allergy?

I had a reduction three years ago and I was allergic to the strips they used. It left a scar that is lifted and dark and long. It follows all the way to my sides because she cut it too long. Now my scars have healed and they are still raised and darker and reach all the way to my sides. They are very notciable. I wanted to know what can help that? I want them gone! Thank you for any help.
