Does my hanging columella make my columella scar more visible from the front? (photo)

It takes quite a while for any scar to mature and maximally fade. This process usually takes 12-18 months. I'm not sure how low ago your surgery was but if it has been more recently than that then you'd want to give your nose time to heal further. During the healing process it's normal for the scar to be more visible than it will be in the end.

I don't think that the scar looks particularly visible on the photos. Not sure when your surgery was. You should give it at least 6-9 months to heal. If after that period of time it still looks too visible, you should discuss with your surgeon. A simple scar revision might be able to be done under local if you are happy wit everything else. Hang in there and good luck.

Depending on how long it's been since you underwent an open rhinoplasty, an easy fix is simply a scar revision.  Meticulous reapproximation of wound edges, combined with mattress sutures, scar massage, avoidance of direct sunlight, and silicone gels can improve the appearance of your scar. 

Most surgeons believe it takes 12 months or more for a scar to optimally "fade" or blend to its final state, so I would suggest you give it time. The other thing to know is that it is very common after rhinoplasty (as well as other cosmetic procedures) for the patient to scrutinize the result to a much greater degree than the patient scrutinized the preoperative appearance. It is also common that a patient will see her own scars/asymmetries much more visibly than a casual or even closely related observer would notice (or care). Be patient and discuss your progress with your surgeon at your regular checkups.

You haven’t mentioned how recently you had your rhinoplasty, but already you can see great results. If your procedure was within the past couple months, there is little you should do except hydrate and continue to heal. Your scar is visible, but not so apparent from the front that you should worry. As your nose continues to heal, your scar will continue to fade. The skin where tissue has reconnected appears tighter, redder, and more reflective than the skin around it, but this is normal and should be expected during the healing process. You may find some ointments can help to keep the scar tissue moisturized and healthy, or that concealing make up can cover red areas, but all in all, you should expect the redness to diminish before too long.
If the problem continues well after healing should be complete, you could consider a scar revision procedure.

Your columellar incision is in fact not high at all. Nasal tip aesthetics looks good; jut let the incision heal and you will be fine. May take upto 1 year to fade.

Dear Salvamea, I am unsure as to when your procedure was performed and how many months post surgery you are so it is hard to fully advise you. In my experience and with my patients most of the columella incisions are barely visible to the human eye within a month after surgery. The healing of the incision depends on the placement and technique used by the surgeon. The incision can be revised. See many examples in the link and a patient one month post open rhinoplasty in the video below for typical results. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

One year after surgery this will not improve. You can revise the scar and lift the hanging columella with a straightforward procedure under local anesthesia if it bothers you.
