Areola scars and residual areola post breast lift (Photo)

DesertRose20
I am 13 months PO from a breast lift (anchor). I feel I've been very patient about allowing scars to heal. I have two questions regarding scarring. #1 My areola scars are so raised and ropey. What should I be doing? Any chance this will improve? If not, what next? #2 I have lots of residual areola. What's involved in ridding my breasts of it? Will it cause additional scarring?
