I have an indent and ball of scar tissue on my chin, is this fixable? (Photos)

Asked By:azandra91 in Fitchburg, MA

I broke my jaw two and a half months ago in a car accident. The inner part of my lip detached from the gum area at the base, so I had to get it stitched. However once everything started healing I noticed my chin started to form an indent that is visible on the outside as well as a ball of scar tissue that is quite hard. If I press my lips down it'll poke out more. The scar tissue can move around but the indent won't go away. Will it ever go away completely?
