Is filler a good option to raise an indented scar on my forehead after MOHS and a scar revision? (photo)

Moh’s surgery on the face often requires surgical repair and reconstruction to reapproximate the skin edges. Flaps or direct closure techniques are used. It is important that you optimize scar healing during this phase in order to reduce longterm scars. For red scars, we use Vbeam laser, followed by fractional laser for scar topography and contour. We recommend Plato’s Scar Serum twice daily for the immediate postoperative period. Fractional laser is safe for scar laser therapy.
There are treatments for swelling and edema of the scars. If there is residual sutures or edema, we advise you to follow a scar treatment protocol that can minimize the time to recovery. Our office specializes in scar revisions for Moh’s surgery.

considerations to filler vs scar revision should be discussed with plastic surgeon, each approach has pros and cons. I recommend you to discuss specific issues regarding your questions with your dermatologist. 

Hi there, I would recommend both filler and Fraxel for your best facial appearance.  The filler alone will help  plump up the scar.  The Fraxel laser will help with the overall quality of your skin.   Good luck,Dr. Downie

Thank you for your question. Yes, a filler is a good option to fill in the indent in your scar. Your dermatologist is qualified to inject the filler if they have experience in filler injections. I would recommend  Voluma or Juvederm ultra plus in the area, depending on the depth of the filler.  

Fillers can help in indented scars however need to be administered by experienced doctors in that area. I would suggest voluma
