Asked By:Clare3343 in Los Angeles, California

Hello, 20 months ago my nine year old daughter ran into a corner which resulted in stitches and a dent. We used kelacote for the first few months. Will this scar/dent improve? Should I use something on it? If she becomes self-conscious later in life can something be done? Thanks.

Answer: Subcision can be done if needed. Adding a small amount of filler can help reduce the appearance as well
