Can the appearance of this depressed/indented scar be reduced? (photos)

February 19, 2018
Asked By:verari in Seattle, WA

Last April (2017), I accidentally lacerated a portion of skin next to my right eyebrow from the recoil of a rifle scope. I received 6 stitches from a walk-in clinic on the same day. Over time, the scar has widened. The scarred skin is also depressed, making it more noticeable. I was wondering what my options are for reducing its appearance? Is this a difficult area of the face to repair and might the scar widen again, especially with the various facial muscles in and around the area? Thank you.
