What is the best treatment for dog ear incision after mole removal? (photos)

chrissk
I had a large mole removed on my face- above my lips 6 months ago. The PS removed the mole using a punch biopsy. I was assured by the PS that they would flatten out but haven't and they don't look like they will. The PS recommends extending the scar further to solve the dogear problem but I am getting married in 3 months and don't want to be left with a worse problem on my face. What would be the best course of action at this point? Do lasers work?
