Is the Entire Depressor Septi Muscle Supposed to Be Disconnected During Rhinoplasty?

March 31, 2011
Asked By:11704 in Lindenhurst

My doctor "released" (he said it was not cut?) the entire depressor septi muscle during rhinoplasty. I am unhappy with the changes it has caused. The skin in my lower face (from my nostril to the upper lip is now very loose. The doctor agreed that the changes did occur and said he can reconnect it. Is this possible?
