Will scar revision surgery lead to better scarring? (Photo)

Mrs. Andy
I had a tummy tuck and breast lift about 3 years ago and have never been content with how my scars matured. I have tried several treatments of Broadband Light Therapy and the results have not been long-lasting or significantly improved the pigmentation of my scars. Would scar removal/revision surgery be a possibility for someone with my type of scar. Clearly I don’t have the best healing skin. I’m a major weight loss patient with a gastric bypass. Thank you!
