I had rhinoplasty with nostril reduction 6 months ago. The incision in my right nostril never looked closed and it's not getting any better even after 6 months. My surgeon dismissed my concerns and after me insisting that it doesn't look right, he just said we have to wait a year. Should I wait a full year even if I haven't seen any improvement? And what are the options/cost after a year?
