Can Uneven Nasal Sills After Bullhorn Lip Lift Be Fixed?
I had a bullhorn lip lift a week ago. The surgeon cut along the nasal sill into my nostril area in order to hide the scar when performing the lift. Now my nasal sills are healing unevenly. The right nasal sill is lower than the left and there's a divot in the right nasal sill which makes my nostril appear larger than my left. Can this be fixed? Can my right nasal sill be augmented somehow to match the other? Also, the scar under my right nostril is bumpy. Will the bumpiness go down as I heal?

Scars take time to mature
Thank you for submitting your photographs and I hope your recovering well from your surgery. The immediate post-operative period can be a very challenging time for patients. Many of my own patients recall looking in the mirror and asking themselves "why did I do this", only to look in the mirror months later and be thrilled with their results.
From what you've posted, it seems like your surgery was only 1-week ago. Scars go through a maturation process...
