How would you treat this scar? (Photo)

Asked By:emlaben in Boon, Michigan

Scar is 18 months old with skin colored, slightly raised stitch tracks. Steroid tape only works temporarily to flatten. Vascular laser removed the pinkness. Now I want to remove the stitch tracks entirely. One doctor recommended dermabrasion, I’m concerned that it won’t be effective. Another doctor recommended surgical excision (in one sitting, not multiple.) Tracks are 1cm tall, I’m concerned this will raise the eyebrow permanently if it is excised. How would you treat this scar?
