How can I flatten my full-thickness skin graft scar? Will laser resurfacing make it worse? (photos)

Asked By:sophiabelford in Australia, AU

I had a full-thickness skin graft (due to Basal Cell Carcinoma) done just over 2 years ago. I am very self-conscious about it, my surgeon told me over a year ago that laser resurfacing will just make it worse, is there anything that can be done? Will laser resurfacing give a good result and what will cost estimate be?
