Open septorhinoplasty 6 weeks ago. Thin skin, nose is wider now and columella shows much more now. Nose was deprojected, narrowed and the droop was fixed. Like the side profile, hate the columella scar and slope/hanging look. Never saw the columella before surgery. What happened and will it improve? Poor suture technique? Columella was not taken up enough? And white showing through? As far as I know, no grafts used. Went to experienced facial plastic surgeon San Diego

Answer: Unhappy Rhinoplasty Result Hello,Your photos are prodigious, but not helpful. You don't appear to have worsening columellar droop, your scar is not visible, and white spot? Maybe light reflex? Regardless, you should go back to your surgeon, get him to take proper photos, and compare your pre op to your current, and certainly temporary, appearance.Best of luck!

Answer: 6 weeks post op, some advices: Thank you very much for enquire.It's too early to make value judgments with only 6 weeks after a rhinoplasty.Swelling after a rhinoplasty depends of the surgery complexity.In this regard, the nasal swelling Post-op It can last from two weeks to two months.To reduce this swelling, I recommend you perform delicates daily lymphatic drainage massage therapy over the face (around the nose) avoid sun exposure, and take pain/inflamation pills, as your surgeron precribe you.Kind regards, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
