facial scar removal

I mistakenly had a biopsy on the bridge of my nose several years ago by a dermotologist. He hit a bump on my nose and went a little to o deep. Consequently I have this very obvious scar on the bridge of my nose. It is an indentation. I am desparete to find a way to at least make it less obvious. I thought about lasor or abrasion therapy, but wont that just make the indentation larger or deeper? Thanks you for your help

If you are left with a depression as a result of loss of tissue from the biopsy, then your best alternative would be complete surgical excision of the depressed area and closure to eliminate and re-approximate normal skin and fat. This is a relatively minor procedure that can be performed by a plastic surgeon. The removal of the dent will make the area less obvious because shadowing will be eliminated.
