I have a depressed facial scar with some large pores around it. The scar is on the cheek and was a surgical scar. I am considering a filler. Can this option be successful? Thanks.

Answer: Improving scars that are depressed with subcision
I treat many of these ulcers and feel that you should first be evaluated with a functional ultrasound to assess the quality and function of your veins. These scars are usually a result of hemosiderin and melanin.
I think fillers under depressed scars a futile. The scar is just too rigid to elevate. Therefore a scar revision is indicated in most circumstances.
Most keloids respond to IIT and pulsed dye laser. Some keloids, however, respond better to surgery. See a plastic surgeon to discuss these options for your many keloids.
