Answer: Scar deformity after rhinoplasty Scarring at the columellar incision site can be a difficult problem, as this area is a very specialized type of skin. If you have tried CO2 laser without improvement, I may consider mechanical dermabrasion to attempt to "sand" the skin achieving a smoother surface.

Answer: Open rhinoplasty scar Thanks for your question. That's a tricky problem. I don't think that CO2 lasers or silicone gel will help in this case. Both are excellent options for scars, but they have limitations. I think that a surgical scar revision would probably suit you best- have the old scar removed and a new closure. If there were other things that you disliked about your nose, they could be fixed at the same time. Most rhinoplasty surgeons should be able to achieve both of these goals. Good luck.
