Repressed scar on top of nose from biopsy, what do I need? (Photo)

Question

I’m not sure what sort of plastic surgeon I should even be looking for, but I have this repressed scar on my nose from a biopsy that I’m so insecure about. I’m not sure what sort of procedure would need to be done, or who I need to find to do it. Please help.

Sorry you are having this problem. It is why I have been recommending Scalpel Sculpting biopsies, particularly in prominent aesthetic areas, such as the nose. At this point, you would be wise to investigate subcision, which I have been performing for all kinds of indented scars since 1995. Subcision, a quick and inexpensive technique,  has a proven track record of safety and efficacy in all skin types for elevating and smoothing all kinds of indentations. Surgical removal, especially in areas subject to a great deal of movement or skin tension, risk the develpment of unsightly stretch scars and even tram track stitch tracks. Make sure to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist with experience in scar treatments. Best of luck.
