Would I Qualify for Abdominal Scar Revision?

GatoradeLank88
Hello men of science! I'm a 22 year old male with a 6in abdominal surgical scar. I'm SERIOUSLY thinking about scar revision (not crazy about a tummytuck). Just below my navel, the scar has two "chunks" of fat on both sides of it, so it's like the scar is a bit indented. Then the last inch or two of the scar seems to be attached to the abdominal wall itself. Is scar revision typical in this scenario? I know it won't remove the scar totally, but would it help to smooth the surface and color?
