How to Fix Dent Scar on Nose?

I had a red dot removed from the tip of my nose and now I have a round dent instead. My derm doctor wants me to wait 6 months before we talk about either him doing something or sending me to plastic surgeon. Help.

Fixing scar on nose

This sort of scar typically resolves on its own, sometime within 6-12 months. On the off chance that it doesn't self-resolve, subcision or dermabrasion or laser resurfacing can be tried. Patience is key, as it should go away on its own.

Dent in nose

I agree with your dermatologist. You have to give it time to heal before you can do something if anything to improve the appearance of your scar.
