Thank you so much to everyone that responded to the original question. Turns out it was just missed, my nose was like that prior to surgery,my surgeon checked his files and the photos. My surgeon said the procedure to fix it would be a local anesthetic and then stitch it back. Is this effective in resolving this? Is this a simple procedure?
