I have had this chicken pox scar for over 20 years, it's the size of a small round pencil's eraser and is located in between my eyebrows. I have ethnic skin type (Asian). I am wondering if my type of scar (which is a bit white and shiny on the inside) would qualified for a subcision? (I am afraid that the pox scar might not heal properly/evenly & potentially make it look bumpy and worse off than leaving it alone) Would just using fillers be better in my case? Thank you so much!!
