6 weeks post op: columella scar not great, hangs too much and white at tip. Poor suture technique? (Photos)

In answer to your observations and sentiments:  "De-projecting" nose of course makes it appear wider, and swelling now contributes;  "Droop" was fixed by raising tip, which of course shows more columella, also accentuated by swelling;  Columella scar appears obscure in submitted photos considering you're only six weeks post-op, will continue to dissipate, and can be easily revised in future if it remains an issue.  Meanwhile, camouflage with cosmetics;  Columella "never seen" before surgery because of "droop" and over-projection;  Columella can be raised if necessary by office revision, but its bulk and immobility with smile is partly swelling and post-surgical induration.  Patience with "mother nature," will allow her to complete in her own miraculous and subtle ways the nice work of your surgeon.  Sometimes, aesthetic problems emerge after rhinoplasty that were unanticipated.  Straightforward solutions exist, but every technical maneuver with living tissue carries with it an element of unpredictability.

Of course you are still early in the healing process.  The columella scar will gradually fade away to the point that it will be imperceptible.  If you have a hanging columella,  this is actually quite easy to address with a minor revision after all the swelling goes down, if necessary.  A hanging columella is something I commonly see after some rhinoplasties, as some surgeons don't address it with primary rhinoplasty.   Fortunately it is quite simple to correct.

Hi gigigirl14,Thank you for your question. At 6 weeks after rhinoplasty, all the concerns that you describe could all be part of the normal healing process. I encourage you to see your surgeon to discuss your concerns and to make sure that all is healing appropriately.Good luck!
