Dents in Skin After Rhinoplasty

I think the important fact that you mentioned was having thin skin. Unfortunately, the patients with thin skin are at risk for showing any cartilage or bone irregularity after rhinoplasty. I suspect that the dents represent some cartilage or skin irregularity after shaving during rhinoplasty. If the dents are only palpable and not visible, then no work needs to be done. If the dents are visible, then you should wait until the nose is healed fully and then consider revision. You may be a candidate for non-surgical rhinoplasty where a filler is injected into the dent. Alternatively, you can have revision surgery to smooth or camouflage the dents.

Dear Bucks,

Being just six weeks out from rhinoplasty, you are still undergoing a lot of healing and you probably still have some swelling that needs to resolve.  That being said, you should contact your surgeon right away with your concerns and have him/her explain the source of the irregularities that you are seeing.  Your surgeon is the only one who knows what was done in detail and is the one that will be following you as you continue to heal.  I am sure that your surgeon would want to know of your concerns and would appreciate the opportunity to answer those concerns for you and to address any issues.  Don't sit and worry about this, rather contact your surgeon and get your questions answered.
