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)
