Abdominal scar revision/surgery options? (Photo)

adrianique16
I have a abdominal scar that is the result of an exploratory surgery at the age of 3 months. The scar always feels tight and is inhibiting my ability to eat the right amount of nutrients. Anytime I eat I’m in agony from the scar/tissue trying to stretch. Wondering if anything can be done to possibly remove the scar and some of the scar tissue. This scar has also affected my mental health and self esteem. If possible I would like for it to be removed and my belly button fixed as it was displaced.
