I had a major facelift surgery with a chemical peel one year ago and was pleased with the results. About 3-4 months later I noticed some slightly elevated white lined areas. My plastic surgeon said he had not seen this before and recommended pro fractional laser resurfacing at about 6 months post op, which he performed. The white raised lines have increased where the laser resurfacing was done, even my upper right lip. I am assume I had a reaction to the laser. Do you know how to treat this?
