What options are available to fix a depressed shave biopsy site on face?

username9456
A doctor performed a deep shave biopsy on my cheek about 16 months ago. The result is a slightly indented, edged scar that looks really noticeable in certain lighting. It has some residual pink-brown pigment and it is located next to a tiny mole. Would feathering the edges of the scar help to reduce the "crater" effect? Would subcision or microneedling help lift the indentation? What would you recommend to blend this spot as much as possible? (I'm not a fan of excision/revision.)
