Is subcision the best solution for the deep boxcar scar that I have on my nose? If not, what would be the best solution? (photo)

Question

Hi, Deep Boxcar Scar on Nose. I was thinking that subcision with a combination of laser treatment would work.

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

This is not a normal boxcar scar. I would use a combination of subcision, fillers, and scar revision to help this scar improve. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianRealself100 Surgeon

Not an easy fix, nor an answer. I personally would perform TCA CROSS 80%- 2-3 sessions, raise the scar. I use a needle technique rather than toothpick in this case. Once raised you have a few options- INFINI RF- expect 50% improvement, or TLR erbium (Sciton or similar), expect 50-70% improvement. This is a difficult case. Done a few, photos will be up shortly.
