I got my appendix out 7 years ago and now it has healed to a point the scar has faded very light and would not be noticeable if it wasn't for the fact it is indented causing a decline in the skin area there. At first I thought it was just my body fat percentage that was causing the indent but after dropping down very low I realised the indent is the scar itself. What can be done for this and would the final result completely remove the indent

Atrophic scars on the nasal tip often respond to a combination protocol that includes subcision, laser resurfacing, and fillers. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Surgical scar revision is difficult on the lower leg. Instead, opt for conservative measures such as application of Plato's Dark Scar Corrector and fractional co2. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Thank you for your
question. In order to treat and improve the dark marks, I suggest using a
combination of chemical peels and Fraxel laser. This will help even and balance
your natural skin tone. Best, Dr.
