Can these scars be revise? (photos)

Asked By:uneekjazzy in Bronx, NY

I had a breast reduction done in 2014. My scars turned into keloid. I have been getting kenalog injections along with laser scar therapy. My keloids flattened out, however the scars widened. Also the last 30 days, my veins started to show. I'm so upset because these scars make me emotional. I do not feel sexy at all. If I get them redone, will it help to eliminate the widened scars?
