“Scars from Facial Surgeries”

Not Worth It
Spent: $7,000 in Michigan

I had surgery on my nose as a result of breaking it multiple times. While I was getting the surgery to correct my nose, I asked the doctor to narrow my nostrils. Now I have scars on the sides of my nose that are noticeable. I hate them and wish I could rid my face of these scars. I even had the doctor cut and re-stitch the incisions and it looks the same. They really affect my confidence.

I also have a scar above my left eyebrow from a cyst I had removed as a result of a cellulitis infection. It's a pretty deep line. I have tried mederma and that hasn't helped any of the scars. Are there laser treatments that are effective for these scars?

Who was your doctor if you don't mind me asking? I live in Michigan as well and I am still researching doctors for this procedure.
