Solution to webbed canthus after botched nose job? (Photo)

natethegreat880
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.
