Can scars from dimple piercings be fixed? (photos)

August 14, 2018
Asked By:needadvice89 in Denver, CO

I had my cheeks pierced 10 years ago. I had them in for about 6 months and then removed them. The scars didn’t seem TOO bad but as I’ve aged, I’ve noticed that they have curved into my smile and given me a “wrinkled” look. Is there any procedure that can remove the scars and even out my cheeks so that they’re smooth and don’t have the “dimple” anymore? I don’t mind the round scars but the fact that they make a line into my natural smile line really bothers me. Also, what costs am I looking at? Thanks.
