Dent on the Bridge of my Nose After Rhinoplasty? (photo)

April 29, 2013
Asked By:Lizy1612 in San Ramon, CA

One month after rhinoplasty and I noticed a dent is appearing on the right side of my nose. (The left side of my bridge is straight but on the right side, a dent is forming on my bridge) My doctor said I could lightly massage my nose from left to right-he said he thinks the fascia and ear cartilage that was placed in my nose (to form a bigger bridge) may have shifted. Will massaging my nose help correct this abnormality or will I have to get another rhinoplasty to fix this?
