Post mini lift scars, can this be revised in anyway?

Asked By:danamoss in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada
Thank you for reading my story. I had a mini facelift done last year December. I have scars/dimples/grooves both sides of my lower cheek/jawline from sutures/stitches and I have seen very little improvement post op. I am unable to wear my hair up and show my face from profile due to this. I am not sure if this can be revised in any way ? My surgeon tells me that that the dimples will eventually go away but I know it will not. Please advise. Thank you in advance.
