8 months post op. Hypertrophic scar after tummy tuck. What I can do to improve the look at least from my belly button? (photo)

jenn1204
I had a tummy tuck done 8 months ago. My scar now looks like this. I am so unhappy as I paid a lot of money to get my pre baby body. My surgeon said there was nothing he could of done to prevented the hypertrophic scarring from happening. I do recall shortly after my surgery a couple stitches ripped and when I told him, he said it was going to heal itself. Now one side is raised a lot more then the other. I really need advise as to what I can do to improve the look at least from my bell button.
