Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Surgical scar revision followed by PRP SC, fractional laser, and subcision can help improve the scar and texture of the skin. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

Hello and thanks for the question. Based on your photo it seems that you have a widened scar along your nasal bridge.  These can be improved with a relatively minor surgery. There will likely still be a slightly noticeable scar but it will surely look better.  For the dent, this needs to be evaluated in person to get a sense of its actual location and depth. There are options for this as well. I would recommend seeing a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon to have this evaluated and devise a plan. Hope that helps and good luck.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Based on
your photographs, you may benefit from a scar revision with surgical excision and a multilayered closure.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Hello and thanks for your question and photographs.
 your scar can be revised and dent can be smoothened by surgery under local anaesthesia as a day care surgery with minimum down time.
Please consult board certified plastic surgeon and discuss .
Best of luck.

Thank you for your question. I think that the
best way to correct this is by direct excision of the dented area and careful
closure. You will still  be left with a scar but the aim would to make it
flatter and less conspicuous.  This surgery could be carried out under
local anaesthetist as a day case
