Revision Surgery / Procedures for Large Scar Left from Abcess.

Tags: chest, options, ridges, sunken
I have a 2"x1" oval lump of scar tissue on my chest (centre-right and about 1 inch down from my collar bone) that was left behind from an abcess excision and drainage (non-stitched) due to surgical infection. Half of it is sunken and has deep ridges along it. The scar is roughly 6 months old. I'm looking at ways to revise the scar as it still causes me discomfort and is rather unsightly (however, my fear is that surgical revision could result in my right nipple to raise above my left one).
