What procedure would be best to treat this nose scar? (Photos)

110919
I have a scar on my nose and i’ve consulted a doctor who mentioned skin flap surgery to remove the scar. Why would this be better than just cutting out the scar surgically? And wouldn’t it be safer since it’s done with local anesthesia? The scar could also be reduced with lasers. I would appreciate advice on this, thank you
