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

Straightforward151546Oct 7, 2022
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?

Thank you for your question and for providing photos. It is possible to address the concerns you have about your side profile while keeping the tip of your nose intact. This would likely involve shaving down the dorsal hump slightly to provide balanced, natural-looking results. Keep in mind that...
