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?

At 10 months after surgery, there may be just a touch of swelling still present, but the cartilages should be well-healed. There may also be swelling from the...

Hi @Genuine3445. A rhinoplasty and septoplasty are commonly performed at the same time. I would recommend the lip lift after the rhinoplasty. Best of luck, Dr. Nima
