Best treatment to reduce shiny, white surgical scar from lip lift surgery?

January 17, 2020
Asked By:Pinkwillow in Ontario, CA

Hello doctors, it’s been about 3.5 years since I’ve had lip lift surgery, skin only, with 8 mm removed. I have had laser on the scar at 6 months, had steroidal treatment, tried micro needling the scar about 6-7 times ( it brings colour back temporarily for a few days a while healing), tried micro dermabrasion, and have also tried using Retin-A for months with not much benefit, in terms of scar colour. Is there a treatment I might be missing? Thank you all so very much for your suggestions!
