How can I improve the appearance of my leg scars? (Photos)

Persistent363600
Hi, I had a tibia fracture surgery a few years ago and was left with scars on my leg (photos attached). They’re slightly raised and discolored. I’ve tried basic scar creams, but I’m interested in more effective options. I’d love to know: – What treatments (laser, microneedling, chemical peels, surgical revision, etc.) would help smooth or fade these scars? – How long after treatment would I start to see results? – Are there non-invasive options that work well for scars like these? Any recommendations from doctors experienced in scar revision would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
