Botched punch excision scar removal - is there anything else I can do? (photo)

Asked By:Sadgirl11 in Independence, Kansas

I gpt a punch excision done and I'm extremely unhappy. It looks worse that before. I have an appointment with the only surgeon in my area who will even consider fixing it. I just want them to be cut out together and leave one scar instead of these two. They look odd being separate and so close together. Question is, is it really that unfixable? Will I look like a baby vampire bit my cheek for the rest of my life? I'm trying to be positive but it's really harping on me.
