Areola Reduction Scar? (photo)

Heavenly2009
I had my breast done approx three years ago and got an areola reduction at the same time. The breast augmentation came out nice, but the areola reduction left me with an ugly scar. When I went back to the plastic surgeon to discuss this issue he told me that the scar was gonna get better with time and all i need is to tattoo the areola and it will be fine. Is this true? Should my plastic surgeon do a scar revision to make my areola look "normal"?
