Extremely unhappy with gynecomastia scarring. Is scar revision an option? Can I expect a big improvement in appearance?

CruzControl
I had gynecomastia surgery 10 mths ago. I understand there's no such thing as scarless surgery, but I was not expecting such sloppy incisions (chunk missing in left areola). Others do notice and even ask what happened. I'm Hispanic but not dark skinned at all - not use to hyperpigmentation lasting more than 1-2 mths. Hesitant to have the same plastic surgeon revise. Would it be worth it? Don't want to go through recovery all over again to yield the same poor results. Appreciate your expertise!
