The area around the columella looks weird after healing. Will this resolve on its own? (Photo)

Question

Is this something that will even itself out, or is a revision the way to go? Also since my sinus surgery/ septorhinoplasty, I have headaches and a dull achey pain my eyes mostly everyday.

It is too early to tell but most likely is swelling related. The eye pain is also from swelling related to surgery. If it persists beyond 3 weeks then you have to be concerned.RegardsDr.J

Based on the photos, nothing looks concerning. Your nose will be swollen for several weeks which is very normal. Also a good option to check with your surgeon regarding your healing progress. Regarding your sinuses, this pressure is very normal for at least a month. Going in for suctioning and debridements will help. Good luck!

It looks like you just had surgery. If your columella was not operated upon, then it is likely just swelling that you are seeing. Best of luck.

You are SO early in healing phases you need to wait for 3 months to see result! Ask your chosen surgeon about healing in open rhinoplasty again.....
