Will this very white breast augmentation scar by my nipple go away? (photos)

Michelle286
I had breast augmentation 7/23/13. I had my areoles decreased also. Under my left areola is an uneven, very white patch of scar tissue. It looks like the bottom of my areola is discolored white. Very noticeable. And it looks like the stitching is uneven. What can I do about this? I have biocorneum scar cream but was wondering if continued use will help or what product I need to buy to help. Also, I am wanting to tan. Will tanning help it or make it worse?
