Dent/gap in dorsum after revision rhinoplasty. Could this be my skin "shrink wrapping" unevenly? (Photo)

October 16, 2023
Asked By:Rhinoplasty92762 in Boston, Massachusetts

I have had two rhinoplasty surgeries by the same surgeon, I love the shape of my nose but I have developed this dent in my dorsum. I am about 11 months out from my revision rhinoplasty surgery, and this just started showing about 1 month ago. It feels like a bone separation when I touch it. Could this be my skin "shrink wrapping" unevenly? I'm willing to travel anywhere to a surgeon that can fix this without filler or undergoing another full revision :D
