Popped a pimple on columella and it filled with pus - can this cause an infection to my revision rhinoplasty? (photos_

Hello and thank you for your question. Unfortunately, a hanging columella is quite common without ample support for the tip. If your original surgeon didn’t use a septal incision graft or a columellar strut, the columella may have descended during the healing process. However, this should not b...
