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
Im guessing but you may have had an open rhinoplasty, with cartilage grafting. The distal most tip of the columellar skin flap is therefore the area under greatest tension and has the worst blood supply. In the area of the nostril sill it is not uncommon to have a depression or notchin. This effect can be due to swelling of the tip of the skin flap, which subsides over time. Worst case scenario, filler such as restylane or even micro fat grafting can take care of this. Best Regards,

So I found a morph program and decided to give it a shot. I really like what I did with my nose on with the morph and was wondering if this could be achieved from rhinoplasty. I know I have relatively thick skin so that will limit the definition of my nose but will it be close to my desired results?
The simulation is a good tool to see if the surgeon and the patient are on the "same page" as far as the operative goals and strategy for the rhinoplasty. It should not be used as a way to answer, "can I acheive this result?" So, I would tell you that the results of your simulation suggest you want a narrower nose in the upper middle and lower thirds of the nose on AP (antero-posterior) view. Your comments about thick nasal skin suggest you seek more definition of the tip. That said, I think your best operative strategy is an open rhinoplasty with alar base cinch technique to narrow the alar base, a columellar strut to provide more support and definition to the tip, tip sutures to better define the tip elements, and infracturing to narrow the upper nose. Best of luck. You can see cases like this at our site.

I recently had rhinoplasty on a middle eastern nose. My surgeon and I agreed to preserve ethnicity while making some changes. We agreed on reducing the hump, and very minor tip refinment. I was very worried about keeping my ethnicity . The cast came off yesterday and I am extremely dissapointed. The bridge looks too low and flat even though he claims he left part of the hump. My nose looks nothing like the image he showed me. Is it possibly swelling? I cant see how bridge will look higher?
