Your digital photo is blurry - you appear to have a slight indentation along your left upper nasal sidewall. In our practice, small indents following rhinoplasty surgery may be improved with Silikon-1000, an off-label filler for permanent results.Hope this helps you.Dr Joseph

Revision osteotomies are usually required to revise irregularities in the nasal bones after a primary rhinoplasty. Sometimes a cartilage graft may be also necessary to augment the depression.

To repair asidewall of the nose there are two options. The first involves breaking the bones of the nose and repositioning them in the proper position. The other method is to use an onlay  graft to build up the sidewall. This means using a piece of fascia or cartilage to fill in the dent. If there is nasal obstruction I suggest the rent waking of the bones as best.

Alternatively as a short term fix (12 months)filler can be used and as a permanent measure cartilage graft can positioned carefully over the dent !best wishesOtolaryngologist/Facial Plastic surgeonchesterUk
