Castor Oil for Reducing Subcutaneous Scar Tissue Post Revision Rhinoplasty?

AM_23
I had a revision rhinoplasty about 15 months ago that involved a lot of reconstruction/refining of the tip, adding height to the dorsum and thinning the supra tip scar tissue. As a result my doctor who is very well known in London had to use collumellar strut, ear cartilage and alloplastic grafts. As of today I have a lot of bulk in the supra tip area under skin and my doctor agrees most of it is scar tissue. He advised against the steroid injections. How useful can a castor/rosehip/frankincense oil massage be to reduce the internal scar? Thanks.
