  7. MY COLUMELLA IS STRAIGHT....

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

Asked By:Modest505531

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?

How will I know what I’ll look like after a rhinoplasty?
Andrew Miller, MD says:

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.
