Treatments to Remove Deep Facial Scar? (photo)

Hello,

A long scar like that would be best served by a scar revision maybe with additional Z-plasties to it break it up making it less visible.

I think that your scar would be best treated with a surgical scar revision. It seems your scar has some width to it as well as depth, and only a surgical scar revision has the potential to make the scar more narrow. Also, I'm guessing the texture of your scar is an issue too, although I can't see it in the photo. Fillers will not narrow the wound or change the texture, so you will still have a wide scar with abnormal texture, even if a filler temporarily flattens the scar.
The other issue that many deep facial scars have is that the underlying tissue and muscles could have been damaged or may be tethered by scar tissue. This is often evident when smiling or talking. These underlying problems can be addressed during a surgical scar revision, but cannot be addressed with fillers.
Unfortunately there is nothing that can eliminate the scar completely, but a skilled plastic surgeon should be able to make it more discreet.
