Can my Round Depressed Scars Be Surgically Cut out and Replaced with a Small Line?

The 2 chicken pox scars are very noticeable and I would like to have them surgically removed. I am aware that I will still have a scar, but a small line or even a smaller scar would be fine with me. Would this procedure work on this type of scarring?
