How to Flatten Scar Post Rhinoplasty

August 4, 2010
Asked By:odette in detroit, MI

I had tip refinement and alarplasty about nine months ago, and I think the scar has completely matured. It's beginning to feel softer along where the incision was made, I think, but it is still raised causing the tip to be swollen (largely due to the thickness and oiliness of the skin I am told). Is there something I can do to expediate the flattening of the scar. Would kenalog be a recommended course of action to expediate resolution of scar and swelling at this point? Thanks and all the best!
