Microneedling or Medical Tattooing? Which would be the best route for reducing the appearance of my scar? (photos)

19474782
I underwent a cyst removal procedure on my lip. After healing, there’s slightly raised, bright white scaring along where the incision was as well as 3 out of 4 spots where suture was. I have visited with many plastic surgeons and dermatologist regarding how to reduce the appearance of scaring and there seems to be two options: Microneedling w/ PRP and medical tattooing. I have one clinic pushing heavily for MN W/ PRP and one for tattooing. I’m not sure which would be the best route.
