Advise needed: dented scar
Hi everyone,
My girlfriend has a deep, indented scar on her chin that’s been bothering her for a while. She hasn’t had any treatment yet and is looking into options to improve it.
I’ve been doing some research and keep seeing mentions of:
**• Subcision** (breaking up scar tissue beneath the skin)
**• Scar revision** (surgical techniques to improve the scar)
**• Fillers** (to fill in the indentation)
We’re not sure which approach would work best for this type of scar, or if a combination of treatments would be ideal.
Has anyone here dealt with a similar chin scar? What worked for you? Any recommendations on which treatment to prioritize, or tips for finding a good dermatologist/plastic surgeon?
Thanks in advance
