I had a breast lift last summer with an areola reduction. Since my areola was so massive, a lot was still left by the scar line. To better describe, the scar line from the nipple/rounded areola down to the base of the breast is usually seen as being a straight single scar line.

Can I bleach this or change its color in any way to match the rest of my breast
