Can my hypertrophic scar after gynecomastia be revised to make a thinner scar along the border? (Photos)

Can my hypertrophic scar after gynecomastia be revised to make a thinner scar that is more oriented around the areola without any issues such as dog ears or any other complications? I figure I can apply medical makeup a bit of the bottom portion where the pigment faded a tad. It has been 10 months since the operation. My other side healed perfectly. I moved my arms too much and the scar widened after the stitches were removed 4 days post op.
