Tummy tuck keloid scarring (2.5 years post-op) - Pain and discomfort. What are my options? (photos)

Kay_B_
Hoping to get some good advice here..I had a mommy makeover 2.5 years ago. My scar has never been pretty and it just continues to get worse, especially in the area below my belly button. Over the past 2 years I've undergone 5-6 rounds of kenalog and about 5 sessions of laser treatments. My surgeon is recommending against a revision as he said I may scar the same way again. It hurts at times and affects my sleep positions. And so ugly! Even wearing certain clothes is uncomfortable. Help. :(
