Christina,

You should get a consult from a Dermatologist who has experience with using lasers to remove scars. The lasers might not be able to completely remove the scar, but lasers are often able to vastly improve the appearance of scars (and even tatoos). Try to find a Dermatologist who has experience with using lasers for scar reduction, and go to get an evaluation from him. Please let us know how you make out, and good luck.
