What would you recommend on fixing a dented scar? (photos)

September 28, 2014
Asked By:dent in East Hampton, NY

I had a cyst removed from my scalp about 7 months ago. The area where the cyst used to be has become a dent in my head. I want to know if there is anything I can do to fix this dent. I would really prefer not having any more scalp removed if I can help it. I'm not worried about the scar, just the dent.
