Asked By:Hannah2016h in Los Angeles, CA

I had rhinoplasty 7 month ago and all this time I had big visible columella scar . Doctor said is will go away with swelling but it didn't . Now my doctor says that he can fix it now and it's not hard procedure but I am very afraid to go to the same doctor again . This is gonna be my 3rd surgery on my nose with him . I am not sure if it didn't heal right , or did I do something to cause the scar and maybe it's doctors fault . It affects my life tremendously and I wanna get it fix asap .
