What can I do for indented atrophic scar from accident in smile line with huge pore leftover from stitches?

Asked By:Kendlelo in San Francisco, California

Hello, about a year ago I was hit in the face by a frisbee and had a skin break that needed stitches in my smile line both inside lip and outside. The scar is faded very white and has a huge pore in the middle leftover from the stitches I think. It causes my smile line to look droopy and whenever I look in the mirror or see my face it is all I can think about/focus on look at. I currently use a fade serum by MAC, albuterin + HA, silicone gel, tretinoin, glycolic acid. Please let me know
