Atrophic scar on my nose, need advice (Photo)

November 28, 2024
Asked By:Polako2024 in Beograd, Serbia

I have an atrophic scar on my nose that severely affects my mental health and social life. I was injured in May 2023 and had two unsuccessful surgeries. The 1st surgery failed due to inflammation and tension, leading to the wound reopening and healing poorly. The 2nd surgery was better but the scar widened again. The scar now has thin, abnormal skin, it looks like a dent when pressed and flat otherwise, while the other side of the nose tip is convex. What’s the best solution?
