April 28, 2023
Asked By:Shrewcifer in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I had an excessively aggressive septorhinoplasty in Nov that was quite sloppy. Since then, my bridge has heen depressing ever so slightly, and is eorse wjen i smile. My tip is jammed so far up that I feel like my nose will invert, and I feel pulling where the columellar strut is. I am curious what will happen if the depression worsens? Will it becime more painful/uncomfortae in the columella? Is tyere any risk of it tearing the (thin) skin?
