I'd like to lighten labiomental crease skin surgically to match the rest of my skin (Photos)

Asked By:francjo3 in Marietta, Georgia

I have a 1 cm long by .0.5 cm wide hyperpigmented atrophic box scar on and under my labiomental crease. I think it started off as a mole 20 yrs ago. Creams and peels don't work so I'd like to lighten the skin surgically to match the rest of my skin. If the scar itself could be smoothed out as well, that would be great.
