I still look the same. They are flattening my scars on the chin cause it is very lumpy and bumpy. Lots of discoloration

Are things getting better for you? Have you returned to your doctor and asked him what is up?

Thank you for your concern. No, my face is scarred on my chin and along my chin line. The Dr is injecting my scars on my chin but now it hurts even worse and numb in some areas. Redness on sides of my face never change. This is the 4th month. I see the Dr every week. My Dr has talked to other plastic surgeons but after seeing my face they will not touch it. Thx again for your concern

I'm so sorry for your experience! Did you doctor ever tell you what level setting they did on you? I've been doing a lot of research and apparently some doctors use 35/40 (the setting for stretch marks) on faces, when a face setting shouldn't be over 20! Too hot causes so much lasting damage.. Have you heard of the product Amino-Plex Stem Cells? I saw it recommended by a Dr. on Real Self as a way to speed up healing. It's expensive but has potential to help you..

See another doctor.
Its obvious the doctor has burned your skin, maybe using the wrong setting on the laser or using a different laser not intended for the face.
Untrained doctors will often lie and say its not their incompetence but your skin that is the problem "Its just the way your skin healed" - heard that before too. See another doctor at a different hospital and get a second opinion.

I look the same as the above pictures. These were taken as recent as 2 or 3 days ago

Pure aloe vera applied liberally will likely help. Stay out of the sun too. Zinc and vitamin e supplements will help too.

Try aloe vera for one month. Great plant gel to fade burn marks. Zinc makeup with SPF 50 will also help.
