Hello! A couple of years ago I had a chin implant that later was removed, replaced by a smaller one and then that to was removed, because I did not like it. Well, now I'm left with a long scar under my chin. I just had a microdermabrasion procedure to try and improve it. I believe its somewhat better than before, but what else can I do? The "corners" of the scar are raised/bumpy. I have no idea where to turn for help. Can threads help me? I was thinking it could strech the skin into being more flat. I went to see a surgeon, that told me that scar revision was not a good option, because the skin is tight as it is (when I lift my chin up), so he recommended laser, but I'm not sure what kind, and if it would flatten the scar. What do you think? I would be so grateful for advice on this! Thank you :)
