Is Scar Revision an Option to Improve 24-year-old Gastroschisis Scar? (photo)

Gastroscar
I was born in 1989 with gastroschisis - a birth defect that compromised the development of my abdominal wall. Is scar revision an option for me? When I was 20lbs heavier the scar was occasionally painful. I have since lost some weight and the fleeting pain has ceased, however I'm hoping that I can undergo surgery to minimize the appearance of the scar. Thank you very much for your time.
