Is It Possible That Part of the Bone Between my Eyes is Missing on One Side After Rhinoplasty? (photo)

November 19, 2012
Asked By:kimchiyummy

I've noticed that it feels like the bone between my eyes is missing on one side. On the left, I can feel a strong solid bridge extending to my forehead. On the right, there's a cavity/ depression in the space between where my nose and forehead meet. I had a wide bridge, so it was narrowed during the surgery, but is it possible that the surgeon took out part of the bone? When I press my finger into the cavity, I can feel it reach all the way past the centerline of my nose! What is going on?!
