Why is my columella crooked after rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Question

I had a rhinoplasty where my nose was straightened and a lot of tip grafts were placed. Why is my columellar looking crooked? My nose is straighter than before but columellar is not.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question If you can share photos of the front and side profile in better light, it will be possible to make a more accurate assessment.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

Hello and thank you for your question. The asymmetry at the columellar base you are referring to is due to asymmetric medial crural foot plates. This can be corrected during a revision surgery.   I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
