Is there a way to treat tape burns that I've had for over 2 months from a tummy tuck or is it permanent?

Las Vegas4899
I had a Mommy Makeover over 3 months ago, and while my tummy tuck incisions were healing, I used bandages that ended up giving my tummy "tape burn". It's been over two months, and although the tape burn has slightly faded, it is still very much noticeable. Is this permanent? Or is there a way to heal it and make the lines go away? Worried that it's permanently like this!
