My surgeon misinformed me. I’m 4 months post-op and the scar on my left alar is truly alarming. The scar is raised near the nostril that didn’t happen on the right side. I’ve been using New Gel E+ for 3.5 months. I’m regretting my surgeon a lot because he didn’t tell me about the scars, and he didn’t tell me he was doing the incisions on the outside. He led me to believe it was going to be an easy healing process. I’m not going back there.
