4 weeks post closed rhino. Bulbous tip was refined, S curve improved,bridge height lowered slightly, bridge sides refined.Once cast was removed week after, nose had very crooked appearance, cast looked crooked too. As the swelling went down few days later, dent has appeared on the side of the bridge. Cast was placed over that part very tightly and was very difficult to remove. I am now clearly left with a dent that is looking worse as days go by. Photo shows front view that is also affected.

Answer: Options to fix small dent after Rhinoplasty?
Your private health insurance won’t pay for aesthetic rhinoplasty. But if you have a blockage of your nose and that can be corrected with surgery, I’m happy to perform that surgery at the same time as your aesthetic rhinoplasty and your insurance company might pay for the blockage part of you...
Dear Nolan_C,
Thank you for your clinical
post. Steroid injections after a
rhinoplasty especially with persistent edema and swelling of the tip are quite
common. Quite often experienced
rhinoplasty surgeon will be wary of indentations and dilute significantly a steroid
to minimize soft tissue...
