Is this saddle nose? (Photos)

March 16, 2017
Asked By:moogagirl in Canada, CA

Septoplasty & turbinate reduction 6 weeks ago. Staph infection, cellulitis; procedure done to drain septal abscess 5 weeks ago. Straight nose before, now bridge dips and it might be wider. Is this saddle nose and what is the recommended correction? My ENT said he would take cartilage from my ear and put it into the bridge of my nose. If I decide to have corrective surgery how long should I wait and should I go to the ENT who did my septoplasty, or should I go to a plastic surgeon?

Answer: Depending on your condition, injectable fillers may be considered for achieving a straight nasal profile.
