Alar scar

Any advice for this scarring from the stitches under my nostril? I use Biocorneum scar gel with silicone and its SPF50 I believe. I'm 7 months post op and my doctor recommend waiting a year and then injecting steroids.. It looks like a pimple under my nose and my makeup clings to the scar tissue doesn't get into the cracks between the scar tissue. I know it's not a big deal but honestly I just want something to go right. The other one has a little red line too, but it healed flat atleast.
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you. :)

Here is a recent picture of my nose. Still waiting to hit 1 year to assess the final results when more of the swelling comes down. I wish my nose was not so crooked and I wish the nose tip was deprojected more.

I'll have to have laser treatment on one of my alarplasty scars since it's healed in a hypertrophic scar.

Ultimately, this revision was not worth $14,500, recovery time, on top of travel expenses and down time. I had NO grafts, osteotomies, or collapse from my first rhinoplasty. I'm not sure why my cost was so high and my result so minimal. Dr Grigoryants does an amazing job on a lot of people; unfortunately I didn't experience those results. My nose looks the same with a slightly improved profile. The tip still seems over projected, the front view is dented on 1 side, overall front view is very asymmetrical (lumpy curvy lacking definition). He's awesome at noses for the most part, but I think revisions may not be his strong suit. Maybe he tries harder on certain patients than others, but I paid SUCH inordinate amount of money for minimal results. I'm happy for everyone who gets it right the first time! Do your research. :(
