How to fix weird dent to nose? Gives the illusion I have two alar creases (photos)

Question

Hello I’ve had my rhinoplasty for 7 months now and I’ve started to notice this weird line or dent on my nose which gives the illusion I have two alar creases and now I’m wondering what I should do to correct this

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Based on your photos, you appear to have asymmetrical supra Aylor creases, along with a symmetrical nostril retraction. All of these issues may be improved upon with micro droplet Silikon 1000 injections for a permanent resolution. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Richard G. Reish, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. At seven months postop it is still very normal to be swollen. If this persists, an alar batten graft in a revision would likely fix this and appropriately tensioning the tip as well.  I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
