Dent in nose and increased asymmetry 3.5 months after Septo-Rhinoplasty. (photo)

Asked By:jillrealself

3.5 months ago, I underwent septo-rhinoplasty. I only wanted to have my septum fixed but the surgeon suggested I do a tweak to lesson a small hump and straighten the nose a bit. I was hesitant but went ahead since the surgery seemed pretty minor (under only two hours) and the surgeon is highly regarded. Now I have a dent in my nose. What could cause this? How complicated is it to fix? I am absolutely terrified about having another surgery but will not use fillers as they are too unpredictable.

The open versus closed technique is only the approach to get inside the nose, not the actual procedure itself. Suture techniques to the lower lateral cartilages and sometimes a conservative cartilage removal are necessary to obtain a refinement of the nasal tip
