Humans heal by forming scar tissue.  No scar can be totally eliminated, but they can often be reduced by surgery and occasionally by laser treatment.  You need to consult with a plastic surgeon to determine the likelihood of success for your particular scar..

The appropriate venue for a consultation is in a physicians office, not at a social function.  If you want a real consultation, make an appointment with a plastic surgeon who can evaluate you condition in the best lighting and discuss treatment plans with you and answer your questions.
