You would benefit from scar modulation with Plato's Scar Serum, fractional lasers, ematrix RF, and massage therapy to soften your scars. Mild Kenalog IIT may also help.Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

There are a few options for you. If the scar can be hidden/disappear by stretching the skin, this suggests that putting a little filler into the scar can help fill it out nicely. Otherwise, subcision or laser resurfacing can be tried, or punch excision. Best to have a dermatologist properly...

Lasers, subcision, fillers and tattooing can improve this.  Please see an expert for treatment options.  Best, Dr. Emer.
