Missing almost half of my columella from rhinoplasty and alot of scar tissue in right side of nose that is painful

March 20, 2014
Asked By:gavenv

Had surgery 3 years ago and I developed a step-off scar. Also it appears that my nose is slightly pulled to the left side. Also there is extremely a lot of scar tissue on the right side of the nostril and the nostril protrudes out slightly. The texture of my nose on the left side is fine. I'm missing slightly less than half of my columella on the right side and it's painful if I wipe my nose on that side. Is it away to fix/rebuild my missing columella I've listed above.
