Can my vertical hysterectomy scar be corrected? What procedures do you think would best to correct it? (Photo)

Smfarrie
I had a hysterectomy at age 30 due to fibroids. Due to the size of some of the numerous tumors, a vertical incision was required. The scar healed to the muscle wall. Especially the area closest to the pubic area. As such. Now that 14 years has passed and have gained weight, the scar is even more noticeable. As I put it, the fat cannot lay correctly. Also, of importance, I am prone to keloids. Any advice you can offer on how to get rid of the indented area is greatly appreciated.
