This can happy unfortunately with the use of lasers around the nose if they are too high in energy or frank bad luck.  I suggest posting photos and seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in revision of these cases.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question.It is always important to rememebr the basic science behind wound healing. Wounds heal and 'remodeling' of the wound by the body will occur until and up to 180 days from initial injury or surgery or whatever inciting agent. It behooves you to wait to see what the final outcome will be. However, in the interim, you can see a plastic surgeon for consultation to see if there are any adjunctive methods to heal it quicker or plan for intervention.BestDr. Karamanoukian
