Which procedure would help minimize the appearance of a dent on my lower cheek? (photos)

Question

I’ve been noticing for a while now a strange (dent?) on the right side of my face. It’s more noticeable in pictures and certain lighting. I thought at first it might be nasolibial lines but it really doesn’t look so much like a wrinkle and it’s only on the one side. I’m getting a chemical peel soon and am wondering if that may help? I do have quite a bit of acne scarring, perhaps it’s just a deeper scar. I feel like it ages me a lot, would appreciate any insight on how to fix this!

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .
