    I have scars on my nose and I would like recommendations on options to either improving them or removing them with not too much downtime. I would like to speak to a Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon that specialises in dealing with patients that have pre-existing scars. Can someone help me please or offer advice?

    A specialist consultation will enable you to have a careful discussion about your specific scars and the concerns you have.  Plastic surgeons have a range of treatments available to improve scars, ranging from excising and re-suturing the scar, surgically modifying the position of the scar to assist in hiding it, or injecting ‘filler’ under the scar to improve its contour (often your own fat cells can be used to provide a long lasting result).
    Most of these procedures can be performed without too much downtime, often as an outpatient or day surgery procedure, and have relatively rapid recovery.
    Get in touch with a plastic surgeon near you to help out -good luck.
