Will I benefit from CO2 Laser on my nose to improve rhinoplasty results?

Laser skin resurfacing is an option for rejuvenating the skin on the nose and reducing pore size. It cannot be performed until you have fully healed from rhinoplasty, which could take up to six months to one year. The procedure uses fractionated technology to create tiny channels in the skin that stimulate the body to produce more collagen. Collagen is an essential protein that supports the underlying dermal structure and gives skin a smoother, firmer appearance. In case the of the sebaceous nose, I’ve also used the CO2 laser to sculpt and trim the over-thickened skin. Very thin layers can be vaporized to reshape a bulbous nose.
The only way to know for sure if a CO2 laser treatment is the right choice for you is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist. Through an in-person assessment and discussion of your concerns and goals, your doctor should be able to help you design a treatment plan customized to your needs and desired results. 

Thank you for your question, techically permanent or semipermanent fillers like radiesse , bellafill or fat injections could cause an issue for rhinoplasty in the future so those should be avoided a nd if any filler are to be used they should he hyaluronic acid fillers only that are reversible. Also, check out my new line of Emerage Cosmetics, it has at home kits that you can do from the comfort of your own home. Best, Dr. Emer
