Which Surgery Would Remove This Hole from my Cheek?

The photo is rather blurry,  but, as several others have commented,  an option that is often useful is excision of the defect and careful layered closure.  During the healing period care must be taken with proper wound care.  If scarring started to re-develop,  steroid injections and other scar treatments could be considered.

Punch excision is the standard of care for ice pick scar. The only complication may be if an epidermal inclusion cyst exists underneath the hole where the cyst sac should be removed prior to repair or else you may be dealing with a bigger problem of an inflamed cyst. Consult with a board-certified dermatologic surgeon or plastic surgeon.

I would recommend using a punch biopsy technique to remove this area.  The skin is closed in a straight line with a few skin sutures.  This is an office procedure.
