Scar Revision

Hello. I have an iron scar from about 12 years ago. It is now a flat, smooth, hyper pigmented scar on my thigh. I find it very noticeable and I am very self conscious about it. What procedure do you think would improve or lessen the appearance? I was thinking microdermabrasion or chemical peels. Who should I see, plastic surgeon or dermatologist? Thanks...

I would consult with a plastic surgeon, but I would not be optimistic about any treatment significantly reducing the discoloration.  Microdermabrasion will have no effect.  A chemical peel or laser therapy could be attempted over a small area to trial the results of treatment.
