Columella too wide, nose too narrow and breathing issues (Photo)

Asked By:mm888

I had closed septorhinoplasty 6 weeks ago and very concerned. My columella is very wide and seem to be a cartilage either side protruding and blocking my airways (nose also very narrow). It’s uncomfortable and feels its pushing up and pulling my lip forward/up. My PS says he placed a small cartilage graft so tip doesn’t drop and I need to wait for swelling to go down. Would really appreciate some advice please.
