Dermabrasion or Laser Resurfacing to Improve Septorhinoplasty Scar?

User Avatar

I had a Septorhinoplasty (Septoplasty with Rhinoplasty) with alar base reduction 2 months and half ago. The scar in the right side is acceptable but on the left side the incision is higher and is visible to me. What can I do to improve it because it does not seem to get better since a month? Also, I have stitches marks left since they were removed 2 weeks later. Should I have Dermabrasion or Laser Resurfacing? And which one is better? I need your help. Thank you!
