Flat scar/cyst treatment? (Photo)

August 15, 2017
Asked By:jgoat in Iowa City, IA

Hi there, I had a milia like cyst on my nose that left a completely flat scar. I don't feel anything there. It's visible in certain light, as shown. It's pretty devastating to me and I am wondering what would help reduce it. Could I just have this very small area treated? What would that cost? Thanks!

Nelson Castillo, MD says:

Thank you for sharing your question.  The only way to get rid of the vertical scar would be through a tummy tuck procedure.  One can not permanently get rid of scarring, one can only replace one scar for another.  Hope this helps.

Jeffrey H. Spiegel, MD says:
