Can verteporfin be used to minimize rhinoplasty scarring?
With the advent of new therapeutics, including verteporfin, but other drugs are being developed as well, scarring can be minimized, and allow healthy healing. Verteporfin is already allowed by the FDA and currently in clinical trials for surgery. Some surgeons already use it off-label. When will rhinoplasty surgeons start using this? Since scarring is such a big issue in rhinoplasty, I imagine it makes outcomes more predictable and healthy.
