Can this hole in the tip of my nose be fixed? The pore has already been cut out and stitched 3 times-won't stay closed (Photos)

Question

Will any of the below procedures work? For a more definitive fix, grafting material (either your fat, dermis or cartilage) can be precisely placed under the depression through an incision inside the nostril. there are many ways to deal with this small scar - a local dermabrasion, and or filling the space below with a tiny amount of silicone will probably resolve the scar 60 to 70%.

Without knowing how it appeared in the first place, answering the question would be impossible.  Without an exam, it will not be possible to fully evaluate you and give you recommendations.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  You may benefit from fat grafting or filler in combination with scar release or scar excision.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

I would have a dermatologist take a close look at the area. There must be a good reason why it won't heal and you want to address medical causes before worrying about the cosmesis. 
I hope that helps!
