Asked By:tamburger in Boston, Massachusetts

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
