15 months post-op. Is this an open roof deformity? Can it be corrected with revision? (Photo)

sarah295999Sep 27, 2023
I had my rhinoplasty 15 months ago and my hump was removed. 2 weeks postop I noticed that I had swelling on my bridge from both sides,I talked to my surgeon at that time and he said that it was swelling and it would go away in 6 months.As the swelling of my nose subsided the bridge of my nose looked wider. How can I know if this is a complication from the surgery or if the surgeon simply didn't rasp it well enough?My surgeon refused to answer my questions. Any advice would be appreciated.
