Can Scar Be Fixed After Mohs?

221641anon
Can it be fixed? Should it be fixed? The photo shows my left eye 10+ weeks after a skin graft following Mohs surgery to remove a basal cell lesion. Even with daily massage, the scar remains very hard and lumpy. The graft pulls down my inner eyelid to the point that I have to reach in with a q-tip just to clean my eye. In the photos, my nose appears crooked but it is not (or wasn't). The graft had all bunched up right after the exterior stitches were removed and I think that's why it's so lumpy.
