Answer: Scar revision
I doubt sculptra will be helpful in your case. It is associated with many problems when injected too close to the surface while it is quite safe when injected deeper. Without a photo or face to face examination it is impossible to know what modality of treatment would be best in your case.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Answer: Sculptra Aesthetic not First Option for Facial Scar
Hi cosmetic,
Depressed or indented scars can be improved by various techniques. The scar may be revised with plastic surgery to remove or reposition the scar. Volume can be added to the skin with fat grafting to plump the depressed or indented areas. Volume enhancement with Sculptra might help, but it's not the first option for scar treatment. As plastic surgeons have already stated, scars can never be completely eliminated. Speak with a plastic surgeon to help determine appropriate options for you. Best of luck.
