I have a huge hole in my face after cyst removal. How can I treat this? (Photo)

Question

I have had cyst removed 7 months ago it has left me with an unsightly hole in my on my face right between the eyes. l am so upset and feel horrible about myself I’m very anxious about people staring at it. I’m so scared it will Never fill in and I’ll never look the same. I’m a 25 year old women. My doctor said my body is rejecting the internal stitches so it didn’t close right and now wants to do co2 laser resurfacing. Is there a specialist who can help me with my face :(

You could be a candidate for a scar revision. Essentially, a new incision would be made, and sutures (external) would close the hole and create a "prettier" scar. The scar itself might be a little longer, but the overall appearance will be neater and more uniform. After it has healed, many people have luck with laser and especially microneedling treatments to lighten scars.
