Alarplasty Scars After 3 Months After Surgery (Rhinoplasty Date: July 20, 2013)? (photo)

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Appears as a very ,very good result for an alarplasty... You need to accept this result. Best to discuss with your surgeon to fully understand.//

Incisions from alarplasty or nasal base reduction can occasionally form suture tracts which can be aggravated by your own pores. Taking out the sutures too early can also lead to delayed healing. Fortunately, this should improve with time and if not your surgeon can improve the scars with laser or dermabrasion. Good Luck!
