Is It Possible to Revise Scars Worsened from Excision and Laser?

I had a board certified plastic surgeon perform excision on old acne cheek scars then three months later use a newer fractional laser on my entire face. Now seven months later I have such compromised skin; deeper excised scars, stretched out scars that weren't excised, larger pores and holes from the laser, and oilier skin with breakouts on a regular basis. I also look more wrinkled (am over 50), including under my eyes, which were lasered as well. Not the results I expected; please advise.
