I Have a Facial Scar That Seems to Be Resistant to Treatment, Suggestions? (photo)

It runs near my "smile lines" and webs a bit when I smile. What I hate most about it though is that, in certain light, it seems to have depth to it. 15 years ago, I had a scar revision and it failed. Last year, a surgeon did a minimal revision on the top portion and I feel that it made the scar worse. I have also tried filler to plump up the scar and it works minimally. I am starting to get asymmetry b/c I am getting some marionette lines on only the unscarred side of my face. any suggestions?
