I am a male, 8 months post-op, who had a rhino+septoplasty. My surgeon and I discussed having a slightly concave dorsum, but instead it was extremely scooped, right down the dorsum, AND scooped around my radix. I now have a small, short nose and no nose bridge. What are my options to fix the large scoop and the low radix? I'm not sure how much septal cartilage I have left. Could ear or rib cartilage be used to sufficiently augment an overly concave dorsum and low radix? Thank you for your time.
