Hello, I had a lip lift procedure done in 2018 and my scare is hypopigmented and very wide. See pic. You can still see the stitching indentation. I have tried all different kids of CO2 lasers, fraxel, micro needling, even scar tattoo. Nothing has improved it even the slightest bit. Will a revision surgery make my scar less noticeable? Thanks for the help
