Will columella show/drop? I can't see my columella from the side!!! (photos)

Question

I've had my surgery almost a month ago. And I feel that my columella is inward. My profile doesn't look natural. Will this change? Also the doctor removed 4mm of cartilage, is that a lot?

John Layke, DO, FACS · Answer

From the quality of the pictures you have posted, I don't necessarily see any retracted columella and I feel that the result looks pretty good!  Relay your concerns to your surgeon, as they will be able to provide you with a reasonable timeline of events to expect certain results.  Good luck!

Jules Walters, MD · Answer

You are only 1 month post op.  Give it some time and should have a nice result.  Keep close follow up with your plastic surgeon.
