Flat scar/cyst treatment? (Photo)

jgoatAug 15, 2017

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!

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.

A hairless scar like this could be treated a few ways.  You could have it cut out and re sewn which will make it much smaller.  Alternatively, you could get a few hair grafts into it.  The best plan may be to do both. If it's closed you'll have less area to cover with hair and the process sh...

Liposuction scars can be dark, contoured, or textured. I would use a combination of fractional laser, Melarase PM, Plato's Scar Serum, and PRP SC.Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

Hello,Apart from the panel members suggestions, you should seek medical attention to address the signs and symptoms of injection before considering a cosmetic option.  Please make an appointment with your primary care physician soon.  Green drainage, swelling, and bleeding need attention.
