How should I remove the dog ear after mohs?

Jg91257
I am a bit confuses as I got different answers about removing the dog ear. One said remove it when doing the repair and another one said do it 3-6 months after surgery. Saw my surgeon today and now he says to massage it as hard as I can to,make it go down and to massage deep ridging on the side of my nose. He said laser and dermabrasion are a waste of money.
