Indented scar from shave biopsy on cheek bone; considering scar revision surgery, advice? (photos)

jdaniel22
Hi, I had a shave biopsy to test for skin cancer a little over 2 months ago and unexpectedly left a scar (zero progression since 2 weeks). I have found a well reviewed dr to do scar revision, but have a few questions for the community: 1. What do you think probability is that scar revision makes it worse (big red line) 2. Scar revision healing time and healing / process? Will it look better than currently does 2 weeks post surgery? 3. Any advice on scar revision on cheek / face?
