What's the best way to treat my hyperpigmented tummy tuck and breast lift scars? (Photos)

my550i
My plastic surgeon retired shortly after my surgery. I'm African American brown to fair skin 3years post tummy tuck scar area is very dark in certain areas and breast lift scar areas wide scar with slight hyperpigmented discolorations. 2 out of 5 local plastic surgeons are suggesting surgical scar revision for both areas, 1 medical laser technician wants to try Halo laser with alpha hydroxy bleaching agents and a few Doctors say nothing can be done. What is my best option to improve areas?
