Mohs surgery 10 years ago. Scar revision? (photo)

tselfe
I had Mohs surgery on my face 10 years ago. The incision line itself healed well, however, there is still a raised area at the bottom of the scar. It’s not red, just raised seemingly below the skin. I had some laser work done on it a few years ago (not sure what type), but it didn’t help. I recently spoke to a facial plastic surgeon who stated that there was not much he could do. I would love to know if there is any recommended procedure to reduce or eliminate the raised area. Thank you.
