Asked By:gigigirl14 in Nashville, Tennessee

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
