Crooked columella. Is this the final result? (Photo)

Asked By:Caring290367 in Santa Clara, California

I had a rhinoplasty 30 yrs ago and 15 months ago a revision rhinoplasty. After the second one I have a hanging and crooked columella. My nostrils look asymmetrical giving my nose a crooked look. My question is that is the columella still swollen (it appears to be) or is this the final result.

Answer: It is unlikely that your columella would straighten on its own at this point.
