What is causing the clicking problem? Is it my columella strut?

March 19, 2016
Asked By:apple1937 in Beverly Hills, CA

I have been having clicking problems with my columella strut and my surgeon came to a final conclusion after 6 months post op that is is slightly too long. one thing I dont understand is that when I move my upper lip I feel it moving around and if I push my finger where I feel it, it moves around, as if you can play with it if you will. I dont understand, if it goes into a pocket why is it freely floating and moving around? does it relate back to it being too long? I would like to understand
