Will a filler smoothen out my indented chicken pox scar? (photos)

DhjoiSep 29, 2016
Since the age of nine, I have had an ugly indentation on my cheek - near my nasolaboal line - caused by chicken pox. I am 28 today and eager to make it less visible. While only temporary, would a filler help? I have read about subcision, but since I am currently on Accutane I do not know whether this is an option for me.

Dark scars can be improved with a combination of Clear and Brilliant lasers, light chemical peels, and topical therapy with Melarase PM, Melarase AM, and Melapads. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Wet to dry or Dry to dry dressings work well initially. I would recommend a plastic surgery eval to determine the best local wound care. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
