Can you add volume to the columella with PDA threads? (photos)

C
Carol_in_NYJan 29, 2023

I had a revision tip rhinoplasty for nostril asymmetry and my surgeon much removed my columella due to a misunderstanding. Now it looks flat and weird from the side and front as well, and my nosetrils look unnaturally close. My surgeon suggested PDA threads to even it out as opposed to fillers, but all I could find online was nose thread lifting and contouring. Would it work for a problem like this? Thank you for your advice!

Plastic surgery scars require attention after surgery so that they remain cosmetically-appealing and barely noticeable. In our office, we use a protocol for scars that minimizes their activity in the 6-8 weeks after surgery. If you have late plastic surgery scars, you may also require laser and...

Alar plasty is nostril narrowing. If you enjoy the appearance of your nose with fillers on the side, or on the top of your nasal bridge, I don't see why these two procedures couldn't be performed simultaneously. Wishing you well. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
