6 months post-op - I have a flat columella due to tongue in groove. What will happen once the sutures are cut? (Photo)

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!
