How to Remove Dent from Nose Piercing?

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

In order to improve the dent from the nasal piercing, you will need scar revision. Surface treatments like those you list will not be effective. Your best option will likely be some combination of subcision, filler and possible suturing of the skin surface. I would suggest approaching this conservatively and in small steps. Good luck.

Scars on the nose from piercing may be corrected.
Dimples, pits, or depression may be lifted or augmented. In addition to the skin damage, the underlying nasal cartilage may be damaged from the piercing too. A small piece of cartilage is usually placed to fill the area. Keep in mind that scar revision never completely removes the scar, but rather helps camouflage and hide the scar.
Only after a comprehensive examination can a plastic surgeon who specializes in nasal surgery help you determine the best approach for treating your nose piercing scar. Best of luck.

If you have a depression on your nose from nasal piercing, it may be extremely difficult to correct without putting more scars on your face.  Perhaps subcision would help.  Perhaps an injectable filler can camouflage it a bit. Without examining it, it is difficult to say.

I agree with Dr. Oppenheim that resurfacing probably would not help you very much in this case.  I have had good success with saline subcision for depressed scars in general on the nose from other causes (mostly acne).  This technique may be of benefit to you.
Good luck.
