Hi! I'm 19 this year, I've got a scar on the right side of my upper lip from falling off a bicycle around 10 years ago. When it happened, it swelled badly and there was blood clot in my lip, it healed eventually and left a scar. Now it look dented. What are the methods I could do to make it less visible and is it possible to get it back to how it originally look? Thank you, your help & answers are much appreciated.
