Closed rhinoplasty went wrong. I was told the chisel "slipped" and cut me from the inside out and came out of my tearduct. I am prone to hypertrophic and keloid scarring. I used silicone gel the second I could religiously. At first the wound was healing, however it has now become tighter and more webbed everyday. The hypertrophic scar is so webbed and hard that it is pulling my inner tearduct in messing up the shape of my eye. I am 1 and 1/2 months post op, and the scar only grows more angry.

Such innocent and coincidental touches usually do not harm the surgery. However only a examination of your nose can give you your true answer. Always communicate with your own surgeon.

I understand your anxiety but it is very early to be judging the result too harshly. Swelling can often mean that it is difficult to see the change early on and that includes asymmetry. My advice would be to stay in touch with your surgeon, keep your follow up appointments and follow the advice...
