Nose job or fix nose scars first? (Photo)

Question

I have bad skin on nose (enlarged pores, indented scars, icepick etc), but also want to get a nose job. I am looking at doing laser treatments to fix scars. Is there a proper order of whether if I should get my nose job first or treat my scars first?

Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can understand from your question. It would be better talk to your surgeon.It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best regards!

Hi there! Great questions. I would have your nasal skin and scarring evaluated first by an aesthetician competent in your skin type. You may benefit from a series of treatments prior to proceeding with rhinoplasty. By conditioning the skin, you will likely experience better results in terms of skin contracture and definition. After your skin is in check, a rhinoplasty would be a great option. Hope this helps you!
