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

Question

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.

You have an inverted v situation. This is corrected by using a cartilage graft to resupport the internal structures of the nose.  A revision rhinoplasty is done.

Hello! Thank you for your question.As far as I can see from your photos it is look like you have inverted v deformity. It would be better to talk about it with your surgeon but this image can be fix with revision surgery and you can have more elegant and natural looking nose. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards.
