Can You Fill a Facial Scar with Juvederm?

Some facial scars can be improved by injecting filler such as Juvederm into them. This procedure is primarily used on scars which are depressed but not bound down to the skin below. The filler is injected under the scar to raise the depression and smooth the scar out. Other scars such as chicken pox scars which are depressed but also bound down to the skin below do not improve when injected with filler. The filler tends to bulge out around the scar instead of filling it.

A soft tissue filler such as Juvederm can be a good option for facial scar correction, however the type of scar needs to be assessed by a physician to ensure it's amenable to this modality and to discuss expected outcome.
