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

September 29, 2016
Asked By:Dhjoi in New Sweden, ME

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.
