BACKGROUND

Hyaluronic acid filler has been documented in the treatment of atrophic depressed acne scars relatively frequently in the literature but rarely in chronic depressed traumatic atrophic facial scars.

METHODS

This case report discusses the use of hyaluronic acid fillers in the correction of a post-traumatic facial atrophic scar on the right cheek.

RESULTS

The right cheek scar was substantially corrected with one session of two different hyaluronic acids injected in a deep and superficial plane.

CONCLUSION

Relatively accurate, simple and effective correction of this atrophic traumatic scar may suggest that fillers are a suitable alternative to surgery for such scars.
