Will my septum scar after rhinoplasty disappear, and is it swollen too? (photos)

November 11, 2014
Asked By:Sjd12345 in Brooklyn, NY

I feel like the part of my septum where my scar is goes on a downhill slope causing my whole nose to look off/bad and I'm wondering if this was bad reconnecting on the surgeons part or if it is swollen too and that will subside along with the rest of my nose swelling. It appears that the scar line is broken up into two different levels, as seen in the photo. I'm very concerned about this. Photos are attached. Thank you
