Can a hole on your face (cheekbone) be repaired?

October 14, 2015
Asked By:tenle in Milwaukee, WI

I have a hole on my cheek bone from a popped whitehead many years ago. It bothers me every day and I'm extremely self-conscious about it. Is there any way something like this can be repaired? Makeup and lotions get get trapped in the hole...very unbecoming. :-(
