Could saddle nose dip after rhinoplasty + septoplasty get worse? (Photo)

Genuine209146Apr 4, 2022
Hi, I'm over 5 months post-op and my nose has dipped much lower than it was supposed to settle. I believe I have a saddle-nose deformity now because my doctor left me with too little septal cartilage. He claims he did 10 mm and that is what he always does but it definitely did not work for me. Attached is my before, morph, me on the table, and me currently. I recently got filler to fix the dip but do I need to worry about my nose getting worse and causing problems in the future?
