Breast lift scars, why are they different colors? (Photo)

kittykat9
I had a breast lift/augmentation Aug 2017, and just wondering why there is a portion of much darker skin right under my areola. I'm hoping that this is actually a scar and not a portion of my areola that was sutured in a weird way, since it seems to be the same color as my areola...I have been putting silicone strips/scar cream on the area, but it hasn't seemed to lightened much. Just wanted an opinion on why it looks the way it does. Any recommendations for scar treatment would also be great.
