My columella is straight. Will this improve if I give it time? (Photo)

I had rhinoplasty in Turkey about 4.5 months ago. I really wanted something natural and not to upturned. I hated my nose right out of surgery, it was extremely upturned. However, it slowly started to drop. My only issue is that my columella is straight. I don’t know if this will be resolved as swelling subsides but it bothers me a lot. It’s very unnatural looking from the front and side. My surgeon keeps assuring me it only needs time. Is he speaking the truth?

I think that it's important to always do imaging before rhinoplasty. The surgeon might be terrific, but his or her vision may not be the same as yours. If it isn't, then a discussion must take place to make sure you guys are on the same page. Computer imaging is what makes this happen.

Hello! Thank you for your question. From the photos you provided I can suggest you; cat eye (for droopy eye corners), rhinoplasty (for the nose), under eye fat injection (for the dark circles). The asymmetry between your brows cannot be fixed with any surgery. Please keep in mind that %100...

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can understand your question, the healing process is totally up to your skin type. If you had thick skin the healing will be much longer than usual so you need to protect your nose from damage more long time. If you can provide photos from front of...

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can understand your question the graft might be relocated due to trauma or something else. It would be better to talk with your surgeon about it. If you can provide photos from inside of your nose, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I...
