How can scar tissue be removed surgically in a revision rhinoplasty? Is it a risk?

February 24, 2012
Asked By:alva2 in Dominican Republic, DO

I would like to know what are the cons of getting scar tissue removed surgically? Can all scar tissue build-up be removed equally so the nose does not end up uneven? Can the work of removing the scar from the inside of the nose harm the external skin of the nose? Can be the scar tissue be scraped completely? I will appreciate your support.
