Many Many Choices: Depends on what the scars look like and how long and wide they are. Innies? Outties? Both? White? Red? Both? And where they are. Really, the Plastic Surgeon should guide you and if you're not satisfied with the answers, get a second opinion. There are various kinds and strengths of lasers, chemicals and fillers that can be tried (I'd advise small "test patches" before going for the full banana).
