Its been 2 weeks since my open septorhinoplasty. There is still a lot of swelling in the tip and along the small scar where my stitches were and I know this is normal but my columella is hanging down a great deal, approx 4-5 mm. After rhinoplasty is it normal for the columella to swell and appear as though it hangs? How long and how much do the commonly retract- if they do at all? I've spoken with my surgeon but he was a little vague...
