Options for Abdominal Surgery Scar Revision?

TXRN
What options are available for scar revision or would a Mini Tummy Tuck work on my scars? I had childhood leukemia and nearly died. I had to have exploratory surgery, but I am very unhappy with my scar.Would scar revision and steroid treatment help, lasers? Or would I be better off getting a Tummy Tuck when after I have children?
