Can this sunken scar below my eyebrow be fixed? (Photos)

Question

This is a very fresh scar, not even a month old. I already have an appointment with a costmetic derm in a couple of weeks but can’t stop having mental break downs over the indent. It is a burn mark. What can be done? Is this something that can be mostly erased??

Sorry that this has happened to you, but the good news is that you are seeking help at the right time to achieve optimal improvement. Since the late 1980s we have known that the greatest chance for potential erasure of an imminent scar is if treatment is performed between the end of week four after the injury (or surgery or infection), when the wound is strong enough to withstand treatment, and the end of week twelve after Injury (after which the scar is considered "mature") and the potential for improvement falls to between sixty and eighty percent. 
I have been performing subcisions since 1995 with gratifying results for elevating and smoothing all kinds of indented scars from all causes. I am happy to hear that you are consulting with a cosmetic dermatologist and at the right time. Best of luck.
