This summer I got my nose pierced and now there is a dent! I regret doing it and took it out that night. It has healed and I have been putting on over the counter scar treatment and vitamin E. After that a dent has formed. I was wondering if this could be corrected. I went on many plastic surgery sites saying that it could be fixed by chemical peels, dermabrasions, skin rejuvenation or skin resurfacing, and scar revision. I hate that I did this. I would be happy if this dent is gone. I don't care if there will be a little discoloration as long as the dent is gone.
Answer: Subcision can be done to raise the scar Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Answer: Dent after nose piercing needs scar revision In order to improve the dent from the nasal piercing, you will need scar revision. Surface treatments like those you list will not be effective. Your best option will likely be some combination of subcision, filler and possible suturing of the skin surface. I would suggest approaching this conservatively and in small steps. Good luck.

Answer: Dent after nasal piercing If you have a depression on your nose from nasal piercing, it may be extremely difficult to correct without putting more scars on your face. Perhaps subcision would help. Perhaps an injectable filler can camouflage it a bit. Without examining it, it is difficult to say.

Answer: Dent from nose piercing I agree with Dr. Oppenheim that resurfacing probably would not help you very much in this case. I have had good success with saline subcision for depressed scars in general on the nose from other causes (mostly acne). This technique may be of benefit to you.
