Double Mastectomy Scars and Drain Tube Scars
Yes laser IPL therapy may improve the red colour of these post operative scars. Seek in person evaluations. I might try steroidal injections to the scars also.

Uusally scars heal well at 2 years. If they are still red, perhaps you need to see a doctor that does laser treatments for red scars. This may help.
