Revision Rhinoplasty - Will Flatness / Indentation at Infratip at Columella Smooth Out? (photo)

December 12, 2011
Asked By:KMDatl in Atlanta, GA

I had revision rhinoplasty on 10/5/11 (1st surgery 5/4/10) to correct and refine my tip. I understand my nose is still swollen and it will be swollen for some time. However, I am very concerned that there may be a cartilage problem causing the unevenness and flat spot on my infratip and columella. I have searched the web to see if other people have experienced the same problem. I can't find anything. Is this unevenness normal? Will it smooth out? I did have one steroid injection after one month.
