Hi there,
Thank you for posting your question here.
The Cosmetic Surgeon in question will have a protocol in place with respect to rhinoplasty and coexisting acne vulgaris. My feeling is that they will be able to proceed but only under broad-spectrum antibiotic cover. This may be started a few week before surgery.
The best treatment for your icepick scars? Again your Cosmetic Surgeon will advise. My preference would be Yag Laser treatment followed by punch biopsy of centre of scar and suturing the resulting deficit. This usually gives excellent results.
They should be able to do all these procedures at the one sitting. Good health!
