Permanent indentation on face from hard fall - would a mini face lift possibly help? (photos)

Question

Approximately 10 months ago, I fell over a fence which ripped down and hit my face very hard. I ended up with a black eye, 2 lacerations below the eye, and an indentation around my mouth, right near smile lines. I’m left with a small scar below eye, and a permanent indentation on side of mount, which now looks like a deep wrinkle. I’m not sure what can be done to address the indentation, and I hate it! I don’t want to have to rely on filler from now on. Would a mini face lift possibly help?

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Have a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon about a scar revision to address the areas that you are not happy with.

I recommend stages surgeries. Stage 1 under local anesthesia is scar revision with nano fat grafting to area, fee $3,500. Stage 2 more fat grafting or HA fillers if needed after 4 months.
