Dent on side of nose 1 year post-op. What happened? Do I need a revision? (photos)

ivelinahristovaifApr 9, 2023
I got an open Rhinoplasty in Turkey in the end of 2021. From the beginning I noticed some dent on one side of the nose but it started ti be more visible in my opinion. What could be the cause of this? Does this mean that I had bad rhinoplasty and how can I fix this? I’m not sure if I can trust my doctor also because I wanted straight and natural nose but got smaller nose with a bigger slide.

Based on your photos, you appear to have a crooked nasal appearance with a wide asymmetrical tip appearance. Depending upon your examination, I suspect this procedure may require general anesthetic to protect your Airway and to address all of the asymmetries of your nose. Wishing you well! Dr Joseph
