I know you specifically said you didn't want to do it, but what can work for a scar is to use a craft knife and make a slight scratch where you want the scar to be (it doesn't need to be deep or wide and you probably won't be able to see it when you take the knife away). Then using a red wash, you can either buy one or water down ink or paint, brush over the spot and immediately wipe away with a cloth. Where the wash has seeped into the scratch it won't wipe away and will leave you with a very fine line. If it doesn't fully fill the scratch just repeat the wash and wipe until you are happy with the result.
This won't give you a raised scar, if you wanted that you could put the knife in at an angle and slightly lift the plastic, but that is a more advanced technique.
This will be a permanent adjustment to the head unlike some of the application methods mentioned above so that is something to consider. But it works for me when I want a very fine line (it is literally the width of your knife) and because it is a wash rather than a paint it should be darker in the middle trailing off to lighter at the edges which looks more realistic instead of one solid colour
