Hello, my surgeon used the tongue in groove during my primary septorhinoplasty with prolene sutures. My columella is completely flat, no nostril show. I loved my columella before and taking this away was never discussed. My surgeon said the sutures could be removed and “everything would fall back down.” I am 6 months post op and he said to wait until 6-9 months. He admitted to never cutting the sutures in a patient before. What will happen once they are cut? Thank you!
