I just had my revision rhinoplasty 16 days ago, and I am quite happy with the result. The swelling has gone down quite a bit too. The only concern is the columella scar - there is a step when viewed from the profile. The columella isn't drooping, and the scar is not visible from front. I'm wondering, usually how long do patients have to wait for columella scar revision? I did some research here and read that it is a relatively minor procedure done in office. And how is the swelling afterward?

Hi,
It's very early post-op to determine whether the radix graft is too high or too big. I would wait 4 to 6 months for the swelling to resolve. Of course a picture would help with the evaluation.
