Possible to get scar revision on chest with good results if you stay still after and use all modern aftercare products? (Photos)

I have two circular 1.5cm diameter hypertrophic scars on my chest from mole excision when I was 14. I am now 28. Being young I moved a lot while healing so they did not heal well. The surgeon did not use silicone sheets or give me any creams, just stitches. I have the next few months off work and can be immobile while they heal this time, and can use modern scar reduction methods not common 15 years ago. Can I get a better result than just laser removal + hair transplant, taking all precautions?
