Red thickness over columella incision after open rhinoplasty

Question

I am 3 weeks post op, I have tried antibiotics but no difference. The redness seems really wide for such a small incision, what do you guys think is this normal ? And should I just give it time to fade

Hello. It is completely normal, at the beginning the scar will be red but it will turn the color of your skin, you will see the final result around the 18 month post op .Than you

Looks normal for this early. It is incredibly rare to see a poor scar here in my, and others, experience. It will change over many months, not weeks. Hang in there because it should do fine.
