Alar retraction and hanging columella post-op, what are my options? (Photos)

June 19, 2017
Asked By:lilla28 in Los Angeles, CA

I am at 2,5 months post op. Columella strut graft was placed to fix hanging columella but it is a bit low and can be pushed up (Maybe suture broke?). I read that columella is easier to fix and alar retraction needs alar graft but I don't want to go for another extensive surgery. When i tape my nose from bottom it doesn't solve my problem completely but i have an improved apperance. Is it a bad idea to ask my surgeon to raise columella graft and forget alar retraction? Other suggestions?
