6 months ago I had a lip lift done using the deep plan technique, after which I was left with a terrible, very noticeable scar on one side, it is deep and wide. I was given 1 steroid injection in the area where there was a keloid scar. I was offered to do laser resurfacing with a CO2 laser, but I’m afraid which can become worse if done too early. The length is about 10 mm, so I rule out a repeat operation. What can I do to make the scar less noticeable and can I fill a sunken scar with filler
