2 months post-op and I'm very unhappy with the results. Should I go back to doctor or continue to wait? (photos)

Question

I had several moles removed from my face via punch biopsy method with stitches placed. Stitches taken out after five days. I've continued to massage, use silicone scar sheets, vitamin e...etc. It's going on two months since I had procedure & I'm very unhappy with results. I let my plastic Md. know this three weeks after procedure, but he said to Continue to give it time. At this point, should I continue to wait. I hear mix reviews about waiting vs. not? Recommendations ? Thanks

Thank you for your questions, I am so sorry about your experience. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. Any scarring can be improved with lasers and microneedling/prp. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question and photographs.It's difficult to evaluate your skin through this type of forum, but from what I can see, it looks like you have atrophic scarring (indentation). A variety of treatment options include laser therapy, injections with fillers, microneedling, etc. Another option is to consider scar revision surgery with an experience surgeon. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatological surgeon or facial plastic surgeon to have your skin evaluated and to discuss treatment options that best suit your needs.Take care and good luck.
