Filling a depressed scar

Amir M. Karam, MD answers: Will fillers help for depressed surgery scar?

I have a depressed facial scar with some large pores around it. The scar is on the cheek and was a surgical scar. I am considering a filler. Can this option be successful? Thanks.

If the scar is depressed, the best non-surgical treatment would be needle subcision followed by filler. This works well in most cases. If the scar is wide, often surgical revision may be needed.
