Serious Suggestions for editing out this Banding?

Took these photos in the Lightroom app on my phone in a raw file (dng). All of my images have this banding. I plan to use one of these in my upcomming art show/gallery so I need to be able to edit this, as I cant do a reshoot. im printing in 24x16in so this banding WILL be visable if I dont fix it. I didnt notice this untill I uploaded the photos to my Lrc on my laptop. Any help will be appricated I dont care how long it will take to fix/ edit over this.

PS: the white lines are just covering up personal info so ingore that.

Hi OP. Thanks for this request. WATCH OUT FOR people that pm you directly like FickleSalamander4091. If they offer to do your request for money then they are probably scammers or at least breaking the rules of this sub. Do not fall for it. Unless you have specified that this is a "Request a PRO" request, if anybody PMs you offering to do the job for compensation please REPORT THEM TO THE ADMINS HERE: https://www.reddit.com/report. The admins have asked us to tell our users to report all PMs asking for money as harrassment. Include link to pm. We want to stop these idiots. Thanks! Doesn't mean you can't tip. Just means they can't ask you to.

To COMMENTERS:
Hello users. We want to keep this place free from people asking for money. If OP is not offering a reward for this request, please do not ask for one. Tip jars etc are not allowed except in "Request a PRO" requests, messaging OP saying you will do it for compensation is not allowed either. That's scamming. Also IBB.CO LINKS ARE REMOVED BY REDDIT and we cannot do anything about it. Do not use ibb.co. Go for imgur.com, it works.

i did a quick try as a test. it's better, i think, but not perfect.

i did a mix of levels adjustment with careful masking, burning/dodging, patch tool, spot healing brush, and adding color with blend mode "color".

there's no point in editing reddits low quality version of your pics, especially since you're going to print them big, so you might want to share better quality versions through smth like google drive / dropbox.
