I recently had an indented scar on my cheek and had a scar revision procedure done. The doctor basically cuts the scar open, removes any scar tissue causing the indent, and then re-stitches the wound shut. I just got the stitches out today and although the area is still irritated with redness the scar itself is pretty much gone. There is no longer an indent and the cheek itself is perfectly flat. You should consult a cosmetic surgeon and see what procedure fits best with your problem, but an indent can definitely be revised.
