I got a rhinoplasty a month ago and there is a huge indention in the nostril base on the left side. It makes my profile from the left look much worse than the right... Even if the doctor 'smooths it out,' how will this raise the indention? He almost gets offended when I ask about it. Has anyone ever seen this? I completely did not expect this. Trent
Though it is difficult to tell from your photos and without knowing the intraoperative details of your surgeon, it appears that the indentation you are seeing is a result of scarring from an open rhinoplasty. Your nose and scars will continue to change and improve a significant amount over the next year, thus it is too early for any type of revisionary or corrective procedures. If, however, after a year you are still unsatisfied, you may consider scar revision, dermal fillers, or even micro fat grafting to fill out the indentation. In the meantime, relax and try to be patient.

I have been considering a rhinoplasty for the past ten years, and finally have the means (and the bravery!) to go for it. As such, I'm ready to do it as soon as possible. How long does it typically take between the initial consult and the surgery? I'm in the process of scheduling consults with docs the second week of December, but would really love to have my surgery before Christmas so that I'll have the holidays to recover. Too rushed?
The process of scheduling surgery always has to start with an evaluation by a Plastic Surgeon to determine your suitability for having surgery- do you have a realistic expectation, can the results you may want be obtained, does the surgeon feel that he or she can produce the desired results, etc. The next step would be for you to schedule an appointment as soon as you can get one with a qualified and reputable Plastic Surgeon. Thereafter the scheduling process would follow along with the individual time table for you and the surgeon.
Good luck. I would recommend that you start the process as soon as possible.
