Alar base scar improvement - What are the best options? (Photo)

qube2100
I have had a rhinoplasty 14 month ago, together with alar base narrowing. Now I am stuck with scars from the alar procedure. I have sebaceous skin, and blame that on the scarring. I am considering fractionated laser or dermbrasion but am concerned that my skin type could be a showstopper for these options. Would scar revision be a better option? What are your experience with my skin type and these procedures ? Thank in advance.
