What Can I Do to Get Rid of a Deep Facial Scar Under my Left Eye It's C Shaped and Shallow? (photo)

I have a c shaped scar under my left eye due to an accident I had when I was 5 yrs old I've seen a few plastic surgeons the first one injected me with some sort of filler but I didn't see any difference the second one wanted to make an incision which helped minimize the scar on my eyebrow but its still very noticeable so I didn't schedule a follow up with him. Basically I wanna find a surgeon that can help me remove this facial scar I've had for all my life I'm tired of feeling so ugly.
