Been apx a year since a surgeon (to shave my chin bone intraorally) infected me with MRSA. Done 5 fraxel treatments & microneedling with PRP once & ultherapy. I’m thinking this is the end scar even after all that. Very sad as it affects my work on camera. It can look bigger depending on the light. Anything else to be done? When I wear a thick silicone patch overnight it looks better for a few hours since it pulls the indented part up. But is that making it worse over all?
