How can I effectively address atrophic dorsal scar persisting after revision rhinoplasty complication? (Photos)

Asked By:kevinjamesfan in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I underwent Revision Rhinoplasty over a year ago to correct asymmetry in my tip & address a small dorsal hump. Unfortunately, inadequate blood flow during the procedure resulted in an atrophic scar in my upper dorsal area. 4 months ago, my surgeon excised the scar & connected the tissue, improving it but still some atrophic scarring returned. Some residual swelling from the revision rhinoplasty is also present. What is the best scar revision procedure(s) from here to address the atrophy? Would a structural fat graft be beneficial to address scar and atrophy?
