Is this Saddle Nose Deformity after Septoplasty? (Photo)

Thanks for the question. The profile photos does suggest a change in your nasal dorsum. If a open septoplasty approach was used dorsal swelling could still be present at the 1 month mark to change the dorsal appearance. It could possible be a early saddle nose from loss of septal support.You should contact your surgeon to discuss this. I hope this helps.

Your nose does show some features of an early saddle deformity of the middle vault cartilage area, which naturally makes your nasal bones appear to have a small bump. Your slight crooked appearance maybe related to swelling or the degree of difficulty of your case. If your remaining septal L-strut is weak, correction may involve future placement of spreader grafts. Complicated septoplasty or those associated with post operative infection or septal hematoma may increases the likelihood of saddle deformity. If your case was uncomplicated, hopefully your nose will stabilize soon. Any residual saddle deformity or crooked appearance concerns can be corrected. I suggest you continue your routine followup care with your physician and discuss your concerns. Wait at least 6 to 8 months before considering revision surgery.
