Supratip Indent 2 Months Post?

I am 2 months post-op and have a DEEP indent above my nasal tip/supratip area. My nose was overrotated (via septocolumellar sutures) & I received a strong kenalog shot at 2 weeks post-op in my supra tip (I know it was strong bc I had serious shrinkage within 24 hrs after the shot). I think (& so does my PS, atleast partially) that these factors have contributed to the indent. Will revision surgery to derotate my nose by removing the sutures fix this indent? Or will I need some kind of grafts?
