I had gone in for a treatment to have the veins removed form around my nose. The person performing the procedure decided instead of doingn around my nose - which I had requested and is in my chart - to treat my cheeks and underneath my eyes. I have what looks like is going to be a scar - it's 3 1/2 weeks after the procedure - on my right cheek where I had a large blister and deep burn. What can I do to help it NOT scar and what can I do to get this corrected? I look far worse now than before
