Would subcision alone minimize the appearance of a scar on my nasal bridge or should I consider adding filler as well? (photo)

Asked By:asdfsafm in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
I’m trying to decide if I should try subcision alone, or subcision with filler. I tried filler in scar and made it way worse. Filler migrated out of scar, and surrounded scar like a picture frame. Filler is now gone… after 6 months. Should I try subcision for the atrophy? Is this dangerous on nasal bridge. Should I try with or without filler? Or any other suggestions. Your help so deeply appreciated. Also my scar is turning white (it’s from a laser burn- trying to treat a red spider vein)

Hi Coffeeruby,
Your scar would greatly benefit from a series of fractionated ablative laser resurfacing laser treatments (for example, the CO2 laser). It can’t really be repositioned to hide it closer to the hairline without making it appear more noticeable.
Hope this helps!
