Can I get a scar revision to reduce the appearance of this scar? (Photo)

Imaginative91435
I was assaulted many years ago which left a straight scar on my left cheek. After a few years my doctor recommended I have a z plasty to reduce the appearance of my scar. Z plasty performed and I was devastated with the results. The scar was noticeably bigger and 5 years later hasn’t softened and it very much noticeable. Before I go back to the doctor I would love some advice on what can be done to help reduce the appearance. Thanks in advance
