Hello doctors, I have a few depressed/atrophic scars on the sidewall of my nose (boxcar and rolling) that seem to be resistant to the previous treatments. Is it possible to to correct scars on this area of the nose? P.S I do not mind linear scars at all, id much rather have those than depressed scars. Please respond as i am at my wits end and these scars have caused so much distress in my life! Thank you.
I have had an area of scarring for 5 years from picking at a reoccurring cyst. The scar flattens when stretched so I dont think its tethered. Ive had lasers, microneedling regularly, prp, and filler (which just lifted the whole area and didnt fill out the missing chunk of skin) . Botox helps slightly in the initial month after when brows are slightly lifted. I feel the only way to get rid of it now would be to have it surgically removed. Would z / w plasty or punch excision be a good option?
I have been getting CO2 laser sessions, but they don't work. My dermatologist is not increasing intensity as it can cause complications. I got Micro-needling once and got a terrible breakout after it. So, if I get micro-needling, I will have to stop treatment. Now, I have no idea what to do. Please help me with this. Things I think I can do: 1. Punch excision and Subcision 2. Micro-needling with low-dose isotretinoin 3. High frequency of CO2 (2 weeks apart) 4. Fillers and Mesobotox

I had a punch excision in January to remove an ice pic scar. Unfortunately, once the stitches were removed, the wound opened up creating a hole. I had a fractional C02 laser treatment on it to help but wondered if there were any treatments that you could recommend for me to have. The dr has offered to redo the treatment, however I'm scared the same will happen, leaving an even bigger hole. Thanks in advance.
Hi! I have a question regarding punch excision for pitted scarring. I had chicken pox as a new born, so Ive had pitted scarring my entire life. Ive tried fraxel laser, BBL, micro needling, chemical peels, all with marginal success. I have realistic expectations. Would punch excision help with the appearance of some of the more noticeable scars, specifically wider scar on left cheek (first pic) and deeper ones on my forehead?
I had a punch excision for a pore on my chin. The edges never approximated and I have a large very noticeable vertical line now just off of center on my chin. Looks like a bad attempt at a cleft chin. Second punch attempted, fillers, and fractional laxer. Still looks deeply diveted and the line is apparent. What now?
Backstory about 4yrs ago i had a blackhead that left a hole in my forehead and refused to close. After microneedling, tca chemical peels, tretinoin, etc. Nothing has changed I was recommended a punch biopsy by my old derm if everthing else fails but my new derm won't do it since its on a very noticible part of my face and thinks the scar from that might be worse. They refered to do cosmetic consult but appts are till the end of the year. Now I think I should just do the punch? Other recs?
I'm thinking about either getting subcision or punch excision for acne scars on both of my cheeks I have done micro needling with a little results and I am afraid to get CO2 laser because of the color of my skin and the risk that comes with that, also not sure I would see results I'm looking with a laser rather than subcision or a punch excision.
I am a 21-year-old female, weighing 43 kg and my height is 149 cm. I have 3 chickenpox scars on my forehead, and two on my nose. Is punch excision a good treatment for these scars? Will it not worsen my old scars? I really want my chickenpox scars to be removed and its been 10 years since I had them. Thank you.
