Silicone Injections Before Dermabrasion and Acne Scar Revision?

askin77
I have some deep acne scars and superficial irregularities.  I have recently decided to treat deeper scars with silicone microdroplets.  What concerns me is the compatibility of this treatment with scar revision surgery (for icepick scars) and dermabrasion. Would I be able to have the later after silicone injections? It doesn't make sense to me to have dermabrasion for the skin before the depressions are filled. Thank you for your help.
