Asked By:Courageous483637 in Los Angeles, California

Hi there, I was in a motorcycle accident a few weeks ago and have some complex scarring to my face and a damaged nose. I’m trying to get my face back to how it looked pre-accident. questions: Am I a candidate for scar revision? I understand lasers are trending. I’m already using Red Light. Should I start resurfacing with lasers early? How quickly should I seek out rhinoplasty? My left nostril is damaged and it’s hard to breathe through nose. Would injectable corticosteroids help?
