I had a pre-cancer (white) removed that was about 5mm in size and the surgeon convinced me that a bigger cut would allow the skin to be closed without a noticeable scar other than a fine line. After 12 months in shock its finally healed and I have a depressed surgical scar line down my cheek that is 5cm long. the scar itself is fine but its tethered down so in bad light it looks horrendous, like i have a groove in my cheek. I guess the solution depends on the cause? Is it tether down/subcision?
