Can damage caused by CO2 Laser be reversed?

March 31, 2023
Asked By:B.whatever in Boston, Massachusetts

I had fully ablative Co2 laser a year ago for acne scars. It made zero difference on the scars. However, I can see a loss of facial fat. I look older and generally worse than before I had the procedure. Is there anything I can do to restore facial fat without being pumped full of filler. I'm seriously considering a mini face lift at 31 years old. Reguardless, now I'll pay more than anticipated becasue of the surgeon making my face worse.
