I had a rhinoplasty two years ago which I am less than happy with, I really don’t like the changes it has made to my profile in terms of the shadows, creases and lines it has created particularly when I take pictures. One that bothers me most is this crease that is created when I smile that attaches from my eye all the way down to my mouth which is unflattering and makes my nose look bigger. What caused this and can filler or Botox help to smooth this area and make it continuous?

This scar can be improved with vascular laser like yellow laser or excel v when its red and co2 spot treatment, fillers, microneedling/prp and subcision to help texture and blending. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Hi @Reneer88! I recommend a combination of dermal fillers to the cheeks and directly into the nasolabial folds to soften your smile lines. Dermal fillers will not stretch the skin. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!
I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. For rosacea, I like a combination approach, using lasers (ProYellow, Pulsed Dye/Vbeam, Excel V(, BBL)), peels and botox to the cheeks. This makes dramatic changes in color and symptoms. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
