Atrophic scar after mole removal? (Photo)

January 3, 2024
Asked By:Honest560280 in Scotland, United Kingdom

Around 4 months ago I had a mole removed surgically. The outcome was not as expected as I am left with a visible scar. I know that it's still early to get it treated but I would like to know if there are any treatments that I can get when it's fully healed. Would subcision and microneedling work even if is located on the lip board? Or the best way is to have it surgically removed again and hope for the best? Thanks in advance.
