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

Asked By:Dragonf1y

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!

Answer: Recommend doing Subcision to release fibers making the indent on the area. A chemical peel can help with acne scarring
