The scar on my upper lip is hard, painful and puffy. What can be done? (Photo)

I had MOHs surgery done on my upper lip under my left nostril. It was done about 3 months ago. The scar is hard and super puffy. I am devastated. I cry every day I look at it. It's a huge lump and very noticeable even with pounds of makeup on. This can't be normal? Did something happen in healing process and is reconstructive surgery ever covered by insurance after removing skin cancer and not healing properly!?
