I had a mole removed and it’s been about 9 months. I have a crater scar on my nose that drives me insane. I’ve talked to some doctors who recommend against filler in the nose or subscision in nose. I’ve also had doctors say that it’s careful business working on scars on the nose because it can scar worse easily. I am considering micro needling to try to improve the edges of the scar so it’s not as visible. What are my options?

Answer: Scar left from mole removal A scar left from mole removal can usually be treated with minimally invasive Morpheus treatment which involves microneedling and radiofrequency applied to the skin during 1-3 sessions for optimal results. At times you may need a subcision procedure and perhaps some filler treatment. Your doctor would probably like to see you in person to give you their best treatment recommendation.

Answer: Scar Hello! I would agree with the physicians you have spoken to about filler and/or subscision due to the highly sebaceous makeup of the nose. For treatment, Microneedling is one option, possibly with PRP or Exosomes to help stimulate recovery. I would also recommend considering laser skin resurfacing such as BroadBrand Light (BBL) or CO2 Fraxel. While you would likely require a fair number of treatments, the cost per treatment for a small spot like that should be relatively affordable and can provide substantial results. Best of luck!Dr. Tom Korkos
