6 months after breast reduction and lift, is it possible that my thick, raised areola scar is a keloid? (photos)

Hi :) I had my breast implants removed and a lift 6 months ago. I am very happy with my breasts however on one side there is a thickening of the scar on one side of my areola. The area started as a red dot which I thought was a spitting suture. It has now healed but is a raised scar and slightly pigmented in that spot. Does this look like a keloid? Thank you very much
