Had abdominal etching 2 years ago. Doesn’t look terrible but I think my abs look too fake. Is there a way to fix this? (photo)

My abdominal etching looks too fake. My surgeon said I would look the same with or without the etching which obviously isn't true. Can I reverse the abdominal etching? Or is there anyway I can smooth my abdomen?
