What can I do to reduce scar tissue after an open rhinoplasty? (photo)

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

Hi,
It would be worthwhile to know how long it has been since surgery. In the initial healing period scar tissue forms and there is a significant interplay between scar formation and transient swelling. We deal with the swelling and early scar tissue primarily with kenalog injections, but also with things such as taping, nasal massage/exercise, diet modification, behavior modification, medical management of infection. If surgery was a while ago and the initial healing/scar phase is completed, then it becomes more likely that a revision surgery may be needed to correct this. It may be still worthwhile to try a kenalog injection if you haven't already though. Make sure you speak to a qualified, board-certified plastic or facial plastic surgeon to help you sort this out. I hope this helps - good luck!
