Rhinoplasty - Columellar Strut Too Long. It Pushes my Lip Forward. Will It Go Back?

I read your concern and reviewed the limited nasal profile photo you posted. The swelling at your nasal base could be temporary swelling related to cartilage grafting performed during your rhinoplasty surgery. The base of your nose may remain firm and swollen for many months after your surgery. You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon for reassurance.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Seven weeks post surgery is still very early for you to judge the results of your surgery - be patient and follow up with your surgeon - stiff rib grafts will often loosen over time

This is definitely swelling. If you look at the lip volume pre and post, the difference is evident. A swollen lip feels slightly numb and stiff. You just need to be patient. And, the tip projection post graft looks good at this stage.
