Raised incision scar - what is going on with my nose?

Hello Idibz990! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Shah Facial Plastics. This is a great question. I recommend treating the area of concern with a CO2 laser for resurfacing. I highly recommend scheduling an in-person consultation in order to better assess your areas of concern and discuss an appropriate treatment plan to help achieve your aesthetic goals. Our office phone number is: (312) 944-0117. I hope this helps and best of luck!

Hi, from the photo it appears the upper part of the incision is higher than the lower, creating a step off. It's important to consider how far out from surgery you are. It is possible to get minor irregularity in the weeks / few months following surgery as swelling subsides. However, it is also possible that some scar tissue is developing at the upper edge, or the skin is misaligned. It is also possible to have cartialge irregularities or grafts that can create issues. Massaging may help in cases of scar tissue or inflammation, but if that doesn't help a scar revision might be necessary.
