Can my indented scar be corrected, cosmetically? (photos)

Asked By:Kohl_Kid in Cincinnati, OH

Can the indented scar I have on my side (directly above the hip bone) be flattened out with a cosmetic procedure or surgery? The scar is from a drain tube that was in place for 6 month over 10 years ago.
