If you developed a scar tissue under the skin, what will the body do to heal this? Will there always be a swelling spot? Thanks

Deep scars: Subcision is an option
Subcision is a method to loosen scar tissue that is bent down. Usually a special wire or needle is used. Often time will soften the scar as well.

Treating scar tissue under the skin
Scars can soften up over time by maturing and with normal body part movement that to some degree breaks up the scar. Presumably the scarring is from liposuction or some endoscopic procedure where instruments were passed under intact skin. I have also found that this usually responds well to endermology which uses a vacuum like device to pull/massage the skin and in the process breaks up scar tissue under the skin better than regular massage or just movement of body parts.
