How to fix raised facial scar that's creating a dent after dermabrasion? (Photos)

Question

Sandpaper dermabrasion caused facial scar to raise creating a dent next to it, done a couple months ago. How can I fix this?!?! I had this procedure before 6 years ago with no problems. This time the scar has raised up creating the illusion of a crease under my eye that was not there prior. Others have noticed it also, the Dr said it prob wont go down and there is nothing I can do. I went to a reputable place. I am prone to keloids and this reminds me of raised tattoo scarring not thick pink keloids. What can I do to possibly get it down? Dr. said filler could make it worse bc of the scar and possible migration of filler

Scars can be temporary or permanent and there are many aspects of scars that can be improved. During your consultation, we look to determine the textural changes, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, scar color, scar contour depth, scar atrophy, inflammation, and scar thickness. Once complete, a HIDEF protocol is established that includes pigmentation protocols to either lighten or darken scar tone, retexturization of scars, inflammatory mediators, lasers, and contour correction. All of these require time and multi-plane correction.
