Surgical Scar on the Nose? (photo)

May 6, 2013
Asked By:gs1

I have a rectangular scar on the front side of my nose as a result of a surgery that was intended to smooth out the bumpy area on my nose from persistent acne. This happened well over 15 years ago. Based on the pictures I posted, I want to know what are the best methods or combinations of methods to correct the scar. The rectangular scar is slightly depressed and flat than the other side of the nose with irregular surface texture. This is very important to me, please advise.
