Subcision Possible on Scar by Eye?

I have a scar in between my eye and my temple. It is about one inch away from my eye. Would this scar be able to be treated with subcision? Thanks in advance

Subcision can be a good option for depressed scars

Subcision can be used near the eyes safely and effectively, but be sure you see an experienced physician who treats scarring (usually acne scarring) with subcision. While subcision will not make the scar disappear completely, it can help diminished the "depressed" or "tethered" appearance of the scar the scar has this component. It can often be combined with dermal grafting for further improvement.
