Will a rhinoplasty improve the appearance of superficial icepick scar on the nose bridge?

August 25, 2018
Asked By:jianjole in Singapore, Singapore

I had an acne breakout and developed an icepick looking scar on the bridge of my nose. They’re new and have been there for a week but I’d like to reverse the damage as much as I can. I’m also going to have a rhinoplasty procedure (dorsal hump reduction and tip) done within 2 months. Would a nose job help in improving the appearance of the scar by stretching of the skin? Otherwise what can I do to improve how it looks? Thank you!
