Dog Ears at both ends of my scar on my face after 9 months? (photos)

March 4, 2016
Asked By:xxsarae in Los Angeles, CA

I had a cyst in my left cheek after getting my wisdom teeth removed. The cyst was removed 9 months ago, but I still have these "dog ears" at both ends of the scar (which have slightly improved with time but not much). I massage it everyday. My surgeon warns that if I want to fix it, the scar will become much longer. I am not sure what to do at this point because the 2 bumps bother me very much but I do not want a huge scar on my face and possibly risk having the dog ears again.
