How would you fix uneven columella due to botched incision from open rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Question

I’ve had a graft from my ear cartilage placed in the columella but it really didn’t help much. Any detailed advice would be appreciated.

This appears to be a small indentation at the incision line. This should be readily improvable in the office with local anesthesia.

Hello. First of all, it was wrong to send a photo that includes only your nose. Because in order to harmonize your nose and face, we need to get to know other features of your face. Especially the combination with the lip complex, the length of your lips, the length of your forehead, the projection of your chin are very important. I’m just focused on this issue. I am a doctor who goes to almost every country in the world and explains my techniques to important doctors with the seminar invitations I receive, so I am definitely the only doctor who can perform your operation very comfortably and successfully. You can get more detailed information about me, ask all questions about your case and sending your photos to my assistants at the number on my profile (+90 539 204 40 90). You can also book an online consultation and discuss your problems with me. With all respect.

Thank-you for your query. In case of unevenness of the skin from a skin incision, the improvement is best achieved by addressing the skin, more than by modifying the supporting cartilage. Your single picture is not adequate to give a proper opinion, but the procedures that may help are, fillers, laser resurfacing, dermabrasion or even a scar revision. Please discuss your options with an experienced Board certified plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss different options with you. All the best!
