Will cutting out internal scar under areola post Gynecomastia surgery create a similar scar?

MichaelJ87
Hello, I had gynecomastia surgery 6 months ago. I've received a few low dose steroid injections. The first one helped but the last 2 have had minimal effect. My nipples looked good right after surgery but now the scar tissue is tethering them in a bit and negatively impacts the shape of my chest a little bit. There is definitely very minimal gland left, it's all scar tissue. Typically if a small incision is made and the scar tissue is removed, will you get the same result in scar growth? Thanks
