Can Divot on Nose Be Fixed?

These can be very difficult to impossible to fix. Sometimes you can bring down the edges of the skin divot with a laser. I have not found too much improvement for this problem with current techniques. It sounds like the wound was not sutured after the biopsy. The tip of the nose never does will with healing of an open wound on its own (second intention healing). If that is the case you may get some improvement buy cutting out the divot and suturing the wound closed. This works better in older individuals who tend to have extra nasal skin so the closure can be tension free.

A divot on the nose following a biopsy may be most apparent during the healing period (6 weeks). Subsequent to this it tends to improve. If the depression remains, a variety of options including fillers and/or scar revision may be necessary to improve the appearance. Once the wound is healed topical scar massage may help the wound to mature.
