The scar is quite old. I would like to have it raised to the same level as the rest of my skin on my face.
Answer: Other uses of botox Unfortunately, botox will not be able to help improve an indentation caused by a scar. This is a tethering effect of scarring. The best treatment is either a needle subcision or scar revision.I hope this helps.- Dr. Bryson Richards

Answer: Botox Botox would not help with this scar, a filler such as Belotero or Juvederm Ultra would be the best option. I recommend finding a board certified plastic surgeon in your area and having a consultation.

Answer: Botox will not help to raise depressed scars Sorry your photo did not come through and I assume it is a surgical, traumatic scar and not an acne scar.Scars are indented due to many reasons.The top 3 are1. The underlying muscle was not repaired and over time it separated2. The underlying fat died/ atrophied over time leaving a small area of volume deficit that forced the scar to become indented3. Deep dermal sutures were not used for support.Sometimes surgical scar revision is essential if the reason is 1 or 3. Surgical scar revision + Fat transfer is necessary if it is 2. If Surgical scar revision is not indicated ( as the scar is small ) subcision + filler would helpHope this is useful
