Asked By:myadrgme in New London, CT

I’m 3 months post op from open septorhinoplasty with alar base. I am very unhappy with the tip , it’s now droopy (was lifted pre op) it almost looks like my tip just sits on top of my collumela. It’s got worse as the swelling went down I noticed it more. I just want to know if it’s fixable , what I’m facing and if there’s anything I can do to make it better. I’ve been using dermatix scar gel there’s not been much improvement. The last two pics are pre op to show how lifted my tip was.
