I had a dermabrasion on my nose and the results are not quite satisfying and left me with a little indentation (Photo)

Question

How long do I have to wait until the skin completely grows back on my nose where the dermabration was made? And how long do I have to wait to have a filler put in?

Nelson Lee Novick, MD · Answer

Curiously, I had a patient with similar story who sustained a dimpled, indented scar on the tip of his nose following traatment with lasers. If you were contemplating the use of a permanent filler, I would suggest thinking twice. Permanent fillers, no matter how enticing the word permanent undoubtedly is risks possible permanent complications either in the short or the long-term. So, rather than  using a permanent filler, such as Bellafil,  subcision may be used to treat a small dimple-like scar, such as yours, with the possible addition of a biostimulatory filler to enhance new, native collagen and elastic fiber synthesis.  Six weeks following the dermabrasion should be a sufficient time for complete healing and to resolution of any tissue edema that might be subtly distorting surface characteristics. Make sure that you consult with a board certified aesthetic physician and ask to see his/her before and after photos. Best of luck.

Try HA filler injection or submission surgery to the dent tea of your nose. Fee under $1,000 to try and improve these results. Did you ask the dermabradng MD what happened?
