Any Fix for a Chicken Pox Nose Scar? (photo)

Hello, I have always hated this scar on my nose. My nose already has a hump, and is slightly crooked, so this scar, I feel calls even more attention to my nose. I am interested in getting a non-surgical nose job to try it out, and straighten out the hump. Could the filler help lift this scar? Is there anything that would help? Thank you so much for your feedback, I really appreciate it.

Chicken Pox scar treatment

There are 2 main options to consider for the scar: subcision with a needle and Restylane injection-the results are immediate but you'll need to be reinjected about every 6 months.

As for a nonsurgical rhinoplasty, it's diffiult to tell from the photos, see an experienced surgeon in person for consultation. more

Depressed Scar on nose

There are several options. You can do a laser resurfacing with CO2, it will help but may need more than one session. You can fill it in with Restylane and it will look great, however it will only last 6 months. Subcision will help and saline injection (bactriostatic saline), another form of subcision, will help as well. Dr. Behnam

Rhinoplasty and chicken pox scar

The scar can be treated with direct excision and/or laser treatment. This depends on the in-person exam. The scar can't be complete removed, but can be improved. Reducing the size of the nasal tip will aide in making the scar less noticeable.
