What is the Best Option for the Indented Scar Under my Lip? (photo)

cola0000
About 1 ½ yrs ago, I had a mole removed from under my lip. An incision and surface stitching was done. My hope.. it would heal as a thin linear scar(w/o being indented!). The resulting scar is quite depressed and noticeable. 1yr after the procedure, I had laser treatments done from the Pro Lux 1540 non ablative(to no avail). My best option now? -(Filler injections, surgical excision/scar revision, more laser treatments, leave it alone)? Thanks for any advice. I appreciate it.
