Columella Scar - I'm Worried About It? (photo)

March 19, 2013
Asked By:RSMember2275 in Italy, IT

I had an open rhinoplasty 11 days ago. This morning I've replaced tapes and I'm shocked by the scar. It is irregular, and on the right side seem that a piece of skin is missing. I feel really bad about this situation...it will improve or there's no way? I will see my doctor only on Friday. Thanks in advance.
