How long does it take for the columella to completely resolve swelling?

Asked By:EmilyTenners

I had Rhinoplasty about 4 months ago. I was wondering... how long does it take for the columella to completely resolve swelling? It's "thicker" on one side, causing a scooped out look in one of the nostrils. The other side is perfect, however.
