Columella Scar Following Rhinoplasty

I read your concerns and reviewed your photo. If you have other concerns about the appearance of your nose that would require surgery, then you should not undergo an in-office scar revision. Since you're having concerns about your rhinoplasty surgeon, please see several reputable rhinoplasty specialists to see what would be best for you. Feel free to email your photos along with a description, and I'll be happy to share my thoughts with you.

If the "step off" was your only concern, I would personally consider an injection of Silikon-1000 into the notch on each side rather than a scar revision.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Hi Kelly,

You should be sure that your rhinoplasty surgeon understands your concerns and feels that he/she can accomplish the correction.  If you are confident in your surgeon then it isokay to have the revision by the same surgeon.  If not choose another surgeon carefully whom you trust.  It may be a good idea to get a few second opinion consultation either way.  Good luck and be well, hope that you get the nose that you desire.
