Hi, would dermabrasion help with these scars that I have post alar reduction ?
Answer: Dermabrasion for alar resection scars
Dermabrasion can work very well for raised or flat scars. Dermabrasion results are much more limited for depressed scars or "gaps" in previous skin closures (which is the case with your nostrils). Based on the pics... I would advise re-excision the with more careful closure. Hope that is helpful. All the best, Dr. Vartanian.

CONTACT NOW Answer: HIDEF Scar Revision for Alar Scars using surgical and non surgical methods including fractional RF and fractional laser Alar scars can be white and visible. Hidef protocols can help with visible alar scars on the face. I see a lot of these in my office in Beverly Hills. Surgery is often not needed if lasers and HIDEF scar revision techniques are introduced. In our office, we combine treatments starting with topical pre-conditioning of the scars with Plato's Scar Serum for hypertrophy and Melarase PM for pigmentation. Fractional RF, laser, and micro fractional RF can help limit scar growth. Kenalog IIT can also help reduce scar thickness. For lip lift scars specifically, I use selective Hyfrecation to reduce scarring. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon
