6 months post op - Can a small procedure be done to correct webbing? (photos)

January 7, 2023
Asked By:BillyIII in Houston, Texas

A suture came out of 1 nostril early on. It left a flap of skin dangling. Now that nostril is webbed forming a deep pocket. The webbing is acting as a tie-down anchoring my alar crease to my septum. The nostril is unable to expand as it regains flexibility like the other. I had previously thought I would need a full revision where the surgeon peels this skin back and lays it down where it belongs. New idea is to simply cut out the web. I've heard 2 years, but this is minor so is it okay?

Eric M. Joseph, MD says:

It seems like your concern is that your left tip crease is deeper than your right crease, and this is causing asymmetry. If that’s your only issue about your results, filler may be considered. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Septal extension graft - Is it possible to reverse the overprojected tip?
Steven M. Denenberg, MD says:

Your nose looks long to me, with the tip hanging down, like the woman whose images I posted in the link with my answer. I'd like to see your tip come up, quite a bit actually. If most of the excess length is due to the grafts, then yes, the grafts would be trimmed, or more likely removed...
