my dermatologist did not send me to a plastic surgeon. When I went back he said what do you want me to do about it? He had used skin from behind my ear. What are my options?

Answer: Nose scar While it's impossible to advise you properly without reviewing your medical history and a physical exam, some nasal scars can be improved with a variety of scar revision procedures. If after healing you are unhappy with your outcome, you would be best served by discussing your concerns with your physician and scheduling a consultation with a plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon who performs facial reconstruction and scar revisions regularly. Some scars can be softened with steroids, filled out with fillers, camouflaged with surgical scar revision techniques, or removed and covered with surrounding tissue in the form of a flap. Good luck in your recovery!

Answer: Nose indent post Moh's Without consult or photos could be hard to tell.However a significant indent in the mid nose area is usually best corrected with a local skin flap by a board certified plastic surgeon.This replaces the most similiar skin and fat as what was removed.Skin grafts to the mid nose from about the ear, sometimes will still leave an indent in that skin and fat removed with cancer surgery is replaced with skin only,they can also sometimes leave a "postage stamp" look.
