I have had an indented scar on my leg most of my adult life, can this scar be removed? I am from a west indian island and the scar was caused by a scratch that got infected and was not treated properly back then.

Answer: Depressed Scar Treatment
Depressed or indented scars can be improved by various techniques. The scar may be revised with plastic surgery to remove or reposition the scar. Volume can be added to the skin with fat grafting to plump the depressed or indented areas. As plastic surgeons have already stated, scars can never be completely eliminated. Speak with a plastic surgeon to help determine appropriate options for you.

Answer: Indented Scar
I would not recommend any treatment unless you can live with a poor result. The risks are high. Be careful out there.
