Do I have keloid scars after breast augmentaiton? (Photo)

debb4
I got my breast augmentation done May 2017. For the first four months I used SkinMedica 2-ounce Scar Recovery GeL, I did not see an improvement therefore I went to try on Mederma advance scar gel, did not really see a different. I am now using Scar guard repair liquid. My scars are still very red and thick. Will this go away or will I have to go under the knife again to remove this? I also want to note that the doctor used the electric tool to make the incision.
