morphea and a coup de sabre

I have a scar which is on the top left side of my nose (near the eye). It is light brown, and visible because my nose looks dented due to the lack of tissue in that area.  When I was 15 I saw a dermatologist and she said I had a mild case of Morphea scleroderma and a coup de sabre, because of the physicality of the scar and the tissue. She said I was lucky because in some cases it is worse, because the process of the tissue decreasing has stopped. Since the area which the scar is located is lacking tissue, makes my nose look crooked.  I want to know if I can look into taking some corrective surgery to fix my problem.

I also have a patch  of MORPHEA EN COUP DE SABRE above my left eye which is  a slightly milder form than some people have. The skin is a light brown colour and it dips slightly, which people tell me is more noticeable to me. It also could have made my fine hairs fall out on the surface of it the patch or my hair to fall out. Neither of these have happened  to me.
I would also like to know what can be done cosmetically, I have been looking into getting a chemical peel as I now also have some patches of Melasma on my face due to pregnancies.

I have the same thing and have had it since age 11(I am now 26.)  I am also considering looking in to cosmetic surgery as mine is in the middle of my forehead and extends down the right side of my face and up under my chin.  I also have a small place on the corner of my lip.. I would love to know what could possibley be done cosmetically to fix this.  I would love to be able to go without makeup!
