5 months post op breast lift, what can I do to significantly reduce my hypertrophic scars? (photo)

christiana1990
I had a breast lift within the last 5 months. My doctor recommended silicone gel strips. They have helped reduce my scarring compared to what they were before, but nothing significant. The scars are causing pain and interfere with my movement. I have been seeing online that patients have treated their scars with injections and laser. However, I read that some injections may actually worsen the condition. I am at a loss for what I should do.
