Hello. I am 3 weeks post rhinoplasty. And i am really worried about columellar scar. The incision line is a little edematous from one side. I can clearly feel it with fingers. Will I need revision of the scar? How long should i wait until revision can be done?
I am a 42 year old woman. At 12 I got a hideous sebaceous infection on my nose which left me with a scar + a bump. When I was 23 I had a plastic surgeon try and fix it - he only left me with more of a bump and an additional scar. At 32 I had some filler put above the scar which smoothed out the area somewhat but that didnt last long. I repeated it twice before seeing another specialist who 2 yrs ago told me a threadlift would solve my woes. Now I am left with a bulbuous tip, still a scar + bump
Hi. I been noticing something off with my columella. My tip in general. My surgeon checked it out and said it looks good but the scar where the insicion looks a bit raised. Instructed me to massage and I been but dont see ANY different. Whats going on with my nose?!!!!!
I went for an alar reduction on my nose abt two months before. I was told scarring is to be expected along the boundaries of my nose and face. It has already greatly improved compared to the first few weeks after but it's still noticeable from the redness. Can I just ask how long will it take for it to fade? Also, is it normal for the scar to feel slightly elevated?
I have bad skin on nose (enlarged pores, indented scars, icepick etc), but also want to get a nose job. I am looking at doing laser treatments to fix scars. Is there a proper order of whether if I should get my nose job first or treat my scars first?
There are indents on the right (scab didn't come off till 18 days later and the place where the last part of the scab fell off is where it is indented) and a very dark purple/brown line towards the left nostril. Is this normal? I've started to use scar gel but will it improve over time? From the looks of it, it looks like the scar will be prominent. Please advise if there is anything I can do to improve this.
I had a Septorhinoplasty (Septoplasty with Rhinoplasty) with alar base reduction 2 months and half ago. The scar in the right side is acceptable but on the left side the incision is higher and is visible to me. What can I do to improve it because it does not seem to get better since a month? Also, I have stitches marks left since they were removed 2 weeks later. Should I have Dermabrasion or Laser Resurfacing? And which one is better? I need your help. Thank you!
I had Rhinoplasty about 10 weeks ago, and one of my nostrils was reduced as part of the surgery. I like my nose, but hate my nostril scar. I really wish my doctor would have told me how hideous the scar was going to be, so I could have told him to leave my nostril alone. Sadly, what is done is done, and it's permanent. Can anything be done to PERMANENTLY reduce or eliminate the nostril scar?
