I had tipoplasty 9 days ago-cast,splints,and ext. stitches removed on day 5.Shortly after, the incision line on the columella became unconnected on the l. side.I went right back in.The Dr. glued it and put steristrips on it.Today, the steristrips came off and now my columella is uneven.The top and bottom are not lined up evenly on the left side.There is a ridge where the top of the incision sticks out from the bottom. Can and how can this be fixed and should I expect the Dr. to do it free?
