Columella Scar Following Rhinoplasty

kelly72
I am 6 months post open Rhinoplasty and am really unhappy with the appearance of the columella scar. There is a noticeable step on each side, one side more so than the other. The nose looks 'wonky' and one nostril also appears slightly larger than the other. My surgeon has agreed to undertake a small half-hour scar revision procedure but I am doubtful that this will address all my concerns. Also, should I be considering going under the knife again with the same consultant?? Thanks K
