Columella pulled tight and painful. 4 weeks post op. (photos)

Asked By:AboutTime14 in San Francisco, CA

Had revision closed 4 wks ago after open primary. My columella was hanging but now is FLAT, rock hard, painful and just ugly and messy looking. My front teeth hurt and I can’t rub my lips together due to tightness. Dr says it won’t move or loosen with time. Also says adding a graft to augment the columella could raise the tip even higher. Is this likely? I wanted a long elegant nose, just straightened and not hanging. I did not want a flat, wide and short nose. Suggestions?
