Here are some possible options:

Silicone Gel Sheets

Silicone gel sheets are thin soft malleable sheets which are directly placed of scars. The silicone in these sheet helps flattening of hypertrophic and keloid scars to some extent, however the duration of treatment is 4-6 months.

Scar Gels

There are Silicone gels which are also available and can be applied but they do not provide compressive force as compared to silicone gel sheets.

Dermabrasion

This procedure helps in smoothening out surface irregularities such as deep lines or scars by removing the top most layers of the skin. The resultant raw area can be left alone for natural healing or can be skin grafted.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Fractional CO2 laser is commonly used for resurfacing scars. This laser removes the topmost layers of skin, allowing new, smooth skin to form.

Skin Grafts

In this procedure, skin from other part of the body and is placed over the injured area. Grafts may not always be cosmetically pleasing because the grafted skin may not match the surrounding skin’s color or texture. The donor area from where the skin graft is taken will also leave some scarring which in due course of time will lighten, but skin grafts can significantly restore function to a large scarred area.

Tissue Expansion

This procedure involves inserting a small balloon under the healthy skin adjacent to a scarred area. The balloon is gradually filled with a saline solution either weekly or bi weekly, to stretch the adjacent normal skin. After the skin has been adequately stretched, which may take up to 6 to 8 weeks, the balloon is then removed. The scar is then surgically removed, and the stretched normal texture skin is advanced over the scarred area and carefully closed.

Z-Plasty

Z-Plasty is a technique which is used to realign the scar in a more anatomical position parallel to the natural skin creases. This utilizes the surrounding laxity of skin to give new improved direction to scar for better healing. The new scar is thin and less noticeable.
