What Can I Do to Get Rid of Scars from Permanent Lip Augmentation?

marciajones
I have a scars around the border of my lips from a permanent lip aug. and my scars feel tight and firm. The scars act as a constant irritant to my lips. I know for a fact that I do not have hypertropic or keloid scarring. Could cortisone injections work and if used in very low doses, would it avoid atrophy???? Also, are there any lasers that would help my problem that I could try for tight, firm scars???? Can atrophy occur even very little is used into the lips???
