Forehead Scar Minimization, What Treatment is Best? (photo)

DeeGee888
I am 29. I received a laceration on my forehead on 7/25/12, that required 13 stitches. I left the stitches in for about 7 days and had them removed by a plastic surgeon,then put on steri strips for 7 days. Another plastic surgeon suggested laser treatments, which would flatten the scar & remove the redness. A Doctor also suggested Botox to remove the horizontal wrinkles on my forehead, since this is a vertical scar, to help smooth out the rest of my forehead. thoughts? suggestions? thanks!
