Procedure options for red marks and notch 18 months after rhinoplasty? Fillers and laser have not made a difference. (photos)

I had rhinoplasty about 18 months ago to straighten my nose and minor hump reduction. I was initially happy with the results but around 9 months postop I noticed redness / Telangiectasia that seems to have slowly gotten worse. I also noticed a small notch that I hadn't noticed before. My doctor tried filler for the notch and lazer for the red mark. Neither have worked. Do I have any other options? Is revision an option or would it make it worse?

I tell my patients to avoid wearing glasses/ sunglasses for 2 months. Wearing glasses during recovery will affect your surgery outcome. This is because your nose needs to be kept in a specific position as the soft tissues, cartilage, and bones heal from surgery. Glasses may create shifts in the...

Thank you for your question.As far as I can understand your question. If you can provide photos with better lighting, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best regards!
