I had a surgery in 2015 to correct a crooked. 2016 I had a small revision to correct a collapsed airway. 2017 & again so I went to a different doctor who corrected a lot. However 10 months after my last surgery, I started to notice a little v. Is this normal healing or is this an inverted v ? Is there a less intrusive way to fix this?
Answer: Inverted-V Deformity After reviewing your photos, although it does appear that your nose has an improved appearance, you have a mild inverted-V deformity. The correct treatment is bilateral spreader grafts to improve what plastic surgeons call the "dorsal aesthetic lines." If you do not wish to undergo a formal revision rhinoplasty, you may be a candidate for a nonsurgical rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid fillers/fat.

Answer: You appear to have an improved nasal appearance after your last revision rhinoplasty. Your bridge appears more symmetrical and pleasing after your last revision. You also appear to have very thin nasal skin which may lead to visible irregularities after nasal surgery. Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 may be considered for adding volume to your upper bridge. Wishing you well. Dr Joseph

Answer: Do I have an inverted V deformity? Is there a less intrusive wa to fix Yes, you do have a mild inverted V deformity. Unfortunately it may become a little more visble in the next several years, as the thin continues to thin with the aging process. I have found that fat grafting in very small amounts can give a nice sustained improvement without doing additional surgery. The alternative is revision rhiinoplaty with thin spreader grafts taken from the septum to slightly widen the middle vault of the nose which was narrowed aggressively on the initial rhinoplasty.

Answer: Inverted v deformity Looking at the before and after pictures, it seems that you may be developing an inverted-v deformity. The most common way to repair this is to undergo rhinoplasty with spreader grafts to build the middle vault area. I would recommend that you have a consultation where a complete examination can be done to diagnose and discuss appropriate treatment. Good luck!
