Laser for signs of aging after SRT? What are my alternatives? (Photo)

June 4, 2023
Asked By:Tough630170 in Young, Arizona

Hi! I have recently had SRT for basal cell carcinoma on my face between my right orbit and my nasal bridge. It has left a round minor indentation of the treatment area which I wasn’t warned could happen. Prior to treatment I was considering laser resurfacing for my early signs of aging, but have recenting heard I am not a candidate because of my treatment. Is this true, and if so, what are my alternatives? Also, could a filler safely improve the look of the indentation? I’m 52. Thanks!
