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

July 10, 2011
Asked By:NateL in Sfat, IL

I had a rib graft rhinoplasty (dorsum and strut) about 7 weeks ago and I am really not happy about how my lip looks (the upper portion of the lip). The lip is very projected and the tip is upturned. Is it the swelling or should I get a revision? Thank you

Answer: The swelling at the top of your lip could be swelling after placement of your columella-strut during Rhinoplasty Surgery.
