Hello all,
I have used this forum for years for acne scars, but since the treatment responses are always so helpful and detailed, Im wondering if anyone could help me determine the best options to possibly treat this 10+ old scar from a freak sports accident that results in several stitches and a broken nose? The skin in this area is SO very thin as well.
Sorry if this is not allowed because it's not acne, but Im having trouble getting reaponses elsewhere, and this forum is always top notch.
Thanks
Fillers would make a huge difference there.
Most derm won't perform subcision there isn't it's too close to the eyes.
Make sure you find a good dermatologist because cannulating or injecting into an artery or vein can cause permanent blindness since it's close to the eyes.

It can. I've applied TCA to a sliced scar and it showed very good result. But it will require numerous applications over a long time.
As for usingfiller, the final result will not look good when there's any deep line or demarcation (like a boxcar edge). You want to smooth out any hard lines first, then get filler. Subcision wouldn't be such a bad idea as already mentioned. Major arteries usually run along the sides of the nose, so no big worries about possible blindness.

I have the exact same scar. I did filler and it made it worse. It just raised it and I swear it looks more like a deep frown line than a scar now.
