Can internal scar from nipple piercings be removed?

Unknownuser96
I’ve gotten nipple piercings twice in the past several years, which have been healed and closed for years. Having them pierced twice has caused build-up of internal scar tissue, causing one of my nipples to look bigger (wider and more erect / longer) and more erect than the other due to excessive internal scar tissue (which can not be seen on the outside of the nipple like a keloid). How can the scar tissue be removed to bring it back to normal?
