Alternatives to Rhinoplasty for Nose Bulge from Mohs

January 2, 2011
Asked By:

A doctor said there are 3 options to repair the slight bump as a result of Mohs scar tissue. 1. filler in the bridge of the nose to even it out. 2. take a muscle from the scalp and put in the bridge of the nose to even it out. 3. rhinoplasty, his preferred option. shaving the bone down as he put it. Another doctor only recommended rhinoplasty to shave the bone down for the scar tissue bump to fit into and be less pronounced. Rhino seems the way to go, yet a bit drastic just to hide this scar bump. Wondering if there are any less drastic options out there that have not been recommended at this point?
