Answer: Rhinoplasty 6 weeks post op Thank you for your question. After 6 weeks you are still going to have swelling. This may be from swelling from the tip of the nose. Give it some time to examine when most swelling goes down. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double Board Certified Plastic SurgeryHoffman Estates Barrington Oakbrook Chicago

Answer: Dented scar 6 weeks post rhinoplasty Thank you for your question and helpful photo. You are still very early in the healing process. Please be patient and allow your skin and tissues to relax a bit. More than likely the dent will fill out with time. Best wishes,

Answer: The appearance of your columellar scar after rhinoplasty may improve. The indentation at the scar may be from persistent swelling of your tip and infratip lobule, which may be expected six weeks postoperative. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph

Answer: Contour defect after rhinoplasty As several doctors have mentioned, healing takes time.Discuss with your surgeon and see if there is anything you can do if the contour irregularity does persist. Often filler can reduce the appearance of these postoperative issues until they resolve on their own.
