Does Stitches On Forehead Post A Fall Cause Permanent Indentation?

Last week I had a bad fall and hit my forehead and had to have ten stitches on my forehead. I am worried that I will have a permanent indentation on my forehead. What should I do? I had stitches removed 3 days ago and the scab has already gone. Am gently rubbing bio oil onto the scar twice a day.

Fibrous tissues once formed, do not go. But if it's very superficial some oils , exfoliated etc may help. Stitches are in depth. May be oils won't help. It will be PMT identification. Plastic surgery may help.
