Is there something I can have done to fix this "dent" on my jaw line, left after the removal of an abcess? (Photo)

sadface13
One year ago, I had an abcess on my right jaw removed. They told me after several months, the face would naturally fill in. It has been a year and it has not. I'm 22, and not worried about a scar, but I would like to have my "normal" face shape back. There is also a small raised, white bump. I will not go back to the people after a battle for my paperwork for a job I applied for, so I want to know if its worth asking help elsewhere.
