Hello, I need help with my columella, I was in a car accident and lost some tip support. From my understanding and research I now have a retracted columella. The bones were fractured leaving me with a deviated septum that has yet to be fixed. The tip of my nose was poorly stitched back on to my columella. It’s lopsided due to a small chunk missing and not being completely stitched sealed.

Answer: Nose reconstruction after trauma There is no doubt that you can expect significant improvement after appropriate reconstruction of the nose and septum. Only on the basis of in person consultation and evaluation of functional and aesthetic aspect of your deformity, a board certified plastic or ENT surgeon with expertise in nose surgery, can come with a comprehensive plan of treatment. Good luck.

Answer: Septal extension graft vs columellar strut… You have injured both the columellar skin and the underlying medial crus of your lower lateral cartilages in the setting of inherently poor tip support In order to fix your deformity, it seems you would likely need structural support for the caudal structures which would likely take the form of septal extension grafting or columellar strut grafting Good luck
