Is it possible to get the dent and the spot on my nose removed permanently? (Photo)

Ive had this small chicken pox scar on my nose since i was four and reallllllly would like it gone i would think it would be an easy fix because the dent is not that deep at all but of course i wouldn't know. Help

Scars in this location can be treated keep to treat.  I agree that a combination of laser, injectables, even surgical revision can be combined to give you the best improvement.  I d not believe there is any single treatment that is likely to give you the greatest degree of improvement possible.
