After rhinoplasty I was left with visible alarplasty scars. During revision 6 months ago surgeon tried to improve my alar bases, causing even more visible scarring and q-deformity below my nostrils. Now he wants to try to improve scars below and side of my nostrils with CO2 laser. I would love to get more opinions before saying yes. Could laser make the scars worse? My doc says no but I´m not convinced. What can I expect from healing of this? What are possible complications? Any other options?
