These scars are of the type "barely visible". You have fairly good skin, much better than mine, and I am not concerned with my scars at all.

I can see the scars, but I can't really tell how deep they are. Can you take another pic, this time considering the instruction outlined below?

Consider taking a picture using the angle-lighting approach as shown in the picture below. This will create a heavy shadow that will accentuate the scar for better evaluation. This can be done by pointing a bright light perpendicular (90-degree) to the angle of the lens. So if you're shooting the side of the face, you would point the light from either the front or the back of the face.

Also don't shoot so close that it only shows the cheek. Try to include other parts of the face (eg. nose, mouth and/or ear). This will give better perspective of the scar size.
