I have had this small hole in my face for a few years and I really want it gone. Is there any way to fix it? (photo)

Question

Should I go to a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

The retained would benefit from TCA Cross, surgical excision, and fractional laser. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. This can be improved with a combination of lasers, microneedling/prp, subcision and fillers. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Laura Riehm, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question and posting a picture.  First you are beautiful just the way you are.  Very few people have perfect skin and those people usually have other, much bigger problems.  It's not cost effective to go after one tiny defect in your skin.  There appears to be a little bit of sun damage on your checks.  IF you were already targeting the pigment, they could put a several pulses on this defect.  The PicoSure FOCUS would work well on both the pigment and gentle resurfacing.  Alternatively, you could get some IPL PhotoFacials for the pigment and get them to switch handpieces to a 1540 nm for fractional resurfacing and put some pulses on that spot.
