6 months post op and nasal bone looks like an inverted v - what could be causing this? (photos)

Exciting576530Oct 10, 2023
I had a revision rhinoplasty about 6 months ago, before the swelling went down it was looking great but now I’m noticing this area around my nasal bone that looks funny. I was told that I have tissue paper thin skin in my consultation to get a revision I just hoped that a revision would have fixed this issue.
