Can this scar be improved?

7766Jun 16, 2023
Had a scar revision a year ago however the scar was exposed to the sun more then I would have liked due to my old profession and I believe that is what aided in the poor result. I am wondering if this scar can be improved as it bothers me and is now worse the original scar I had. Curious what options I have? Thanks.
