Scar on top of nose - Can this nose be fixed? (photos)

Question

Female, age 70, excellent health. Needs facelift but want to know if rhinoplasty can fix this nose (first, after, or during). Scar on top of nose (tip) and it aging badly

Marc Polacco, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. A rhinoplasty would address the shape of the nose and any breathing difficulty you may have, but it wouldn't address scarring on the skin. Typically treatment with laser resurfacing or microneedling would be most effective for softening the scar visibility. I hope that helps, and all the best!
