Treatment for Indented Surgery Scar?

June 7, 2009
Asked By:MOHS in NYC

I had a Mohs surgery three months ago just under my eye. The surgeon said the wound was not deep and didn't need stitches; it would heal without a mark. Instead, It left me with an indented scar. Is there any treatment to encourage the skin to fill in?
