I have scar tissue from a nose job last year. The doctor added some unknown procedure placing small piece of ear cartilage under the philtrum directly under my nose where it folds. It's removed, however, a scar tissue is there & still hard pushing up my nose when I smile. In many lights, esp lights overhead, I look very strange in photos. How can I soften this scar fast? Can't tell if a good nose job. So far, it looks bad due to my nose pushing upwards when I smile.

In my practice, I would not have an issue with continuing the cream prior to your surgery. Best to check with your surgeon though. Good luck and be safe.John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICSDouble Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
The main issue in the photograph is the length of the tip and the heaviness of the columella. Improving these things in conjunction with reducing the bridge will make a nice improvement in the nose as a whole. It is vital to see surgeons that specialize in rhinoplasty when deciding to go ahead...
From your photo,it appears that this small bump can be easily smoothed with a Rhinoplasty operation, either opened or closed. Judging from your skin quality,you should get a very nice result.
