What are my options to hide/remove big scar on my temple? (photo)

VtotehKDec 3, 2013
Hi. Im 23 years old male who had a surgery about 10 years ago for birthmark removal. The birthmark was big and the surgery left me with 2,5x5,5cm scar in my temple. Two years ago i went trough scar removal surgery and it only decreased the size of the scar about 0,7cm in width. What are my options to decrease the size and/or hide the scar? Hair transplant? Re-do the surgery(i dont think it will work)? Some combination?
