Alar Base Scars After Rhinoplasty. What Are Some Treatment Options? (photo)

3814anon
Hello, Two years ago I had a closed rhinoplasty with alar base surgery.The right side alar base did not attach completely and there was scarring.After 9 months, the PS performed surgery on the area to remove the scar.The stitches were removed after 5 days and the area of the incision did not close at all but a large round bloody wound remained.It took about 2 months for the wound to close with sutures scars again.The PS said he can "cork" the scars.Can laser skin resurfacing treat these scars?TY
