Nasal Bone Bent
Already asked this question in a way but wanted to post a pick as this is making me ill with worry. I had rhino 6 weeks ago and was told that the PS didnt straighten my nasal bone because of a previous scar that was in the area where the bone needs straightening, he said it would be difficult. I still have a crooked nose and also some dents have appeared on the skin where the bridge was rasped. The dorsal hump was removed but with what looks like one straight scrape, no refinement at all.

Nasal deviation 6 weeks following rhinoplasty.
Dear Bucks. Thank you for the photo and sorry you are feeling stressed following your rhinoplasty.
At 6 weeks following rhinoplasty there is still some swelling to go down and healing to progress. However, the basic shape of the nose should be apparent. Although your photo is not ideal, it does appear that you have a residual deformity. The nose seems to demonstrate a C-shaped deformity with the upper half of the nasal framework (the bony vault) deviated to your...

Nasal bone still bent after rhinoplasty
What is evident from your question is that you are discouraged with your result after rhinoplasty. You may have misunderstood the explanation from the office staff and you should take your concerns directly to your surgeon. There may have been limitations because of a prior fracture or rhinoplasty, or by a deviation in the septum though your surgeon is best able to tell you why. A revision can offer further improvement, though a wait of six to twelve is warranted.
Best of luck...

Asymmetries can be diagnosed in thirds
If you look at you nose in thirds, top to bottom, you can analyze your own asymmetry.
The top third (bones) is shifted toward your right. Some day your right nasal bone can be brought in. This is not hard and will not be limited by skin scars.
The middle third (upper cartilaginous vault) has narrowed, and this is because your bridge was lowered, opening the arch of cartilage that forms the lower half of the nasal roof. Once the roof is gone, the sides can fall...

Deformity after rhinoplasty
I would allow the edema to resolve prior to any revision surgery. You probably will need osteotomies to correct the asymetric nasal bones and possibly spreader grafts. Discuss this with your surgeon. Donald R Nunn MD Plastic Surgeon.

Nasal Bone Bent 6 weeks after surgery
It will be too soon to do anything before 6-9 months after surgery. At that time you will have better idea what the problem is and can decide what do about it. So, I believe it is in your best interest to follow up with your surgeon as scheduled and be patient and do not allow this to bother you so much since you will have to wait eventhough the deformity is present now.

Nasal bone dent 6 weeks after rhinoplasty.
Rhinoplasty swelling takes at least 6-12 months to go down. It is too soon to say the "dent" is permanent.

Have you discussed your concern with your surgeon?
The result of the rhinoplasty depends on the nasal tissue thickness,bonnie deformity and facial bone structure. If your surgeon has not achieved the result that you were expecting, he or she should know about it. If your surgeon could not or would not fix your nose,then you may want to get second opinion. I would like to see your before and after picture and not just the nose,but whole face. The picture you have attache is too close up and is not realistic view.
