Horrible Anxiety About Ruining Result After Septoplasty! Can't Get a Hold of my Surgeon and Worried? (photo)

Asked By:Mila ringos

Hi I had a open septoplasty one month ago to fix a minor cleft palate. Ever since I got my cast off I can not leave my nose alone! First I left a flat indent from pressing too hard on my nose and after I got over that I caused my skin to slightly stretch and rip at the columella and where my nostril was cut open from smiling way too wide. I cannot put my mind at ease I know it's normal to have anxiety after rhinoplasty but not this bad I'm terrified that I ruined the results! I'm going insane:( Please Help
