Can fillers be used to fill a deep scar on my cheek? (photo)

Thank you for the question and the photos. The scar looks like is atrophic (i.e., thin), depressed (i.e., deeper than the surrounding tissue), and spread (i.e., the edges of the original excision seem far apart). In this situation, a surgical scar revision is warranted. After this, if needed, small amounts of filler or your own fat can be used to give the area more volume. Best of luck moving forward!

A scar revision by excising the scar, repairing the defect by pulling tissue underneath and placing a eptfe implant underneath it and a superficial dermabrasion of the overlying excision would give a good result for roughly $2500-3000. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD

Fillers could be used to help raise a depressed scar on the cheek, such as yours, but I think a better long term solution would be having a scar revision.  In the ideal setting, once the scar revision was done, you would not need any fillers.  

Good morning. I suggest you research Voluma by the makers of Juvederm. It is a filler that lasts 2-3 years and would significantly improve your scar. I usually perform subcision before injection fillers. Subcision is a process by which the deep scars are released using a special needle. 2 syringes of Juvederm Voluma and subcision would improve the scar about 50% to 75%. Please review the photos on my Acne Scarring FB site.

Using subcision to release the deeper scarring from the skin and filler is a good way to start.It will improve significantly and has a much faster recovery than scar revision.  Your scar is spread and a formal scar revsion my be required but with a simple subcision and filler you will improve without sutures.Best wishes,Dr. Denkler
