I've got a dent on the side of my nose after a rhinoplasty. What can I do to get rid of it? (Photo)

I've had my rhinoplasty about 3 to 4 years ago and I've noticed that I have a dent on the side of my nose. I don't specifically want to pay for another nose job as it's not a very cheap procedure and I think my doctor should've done better, but now I am left with the dent on the side of my nose when I've never had it before so I would like any doctor to tell me what exactly it is and why that happened to my nose and what can I do to get rid of it at or to make it less visible thank you

It can be hard to tell things with only photos from the front, but it looks like you still have some swelling around the tip area. Also, the tip often comes down a little with time as well. The septum seems a little crooked inside as well. If things don't improve over the next six months, a...

Hello! Thank you for your question.From the photo you provided it is very clear that your nose is deviated. Especially the tip. It also looks like you have a hanging columella. I highly recommend you a revision rhinoplasty to correct it. Steroid injection is not a lifelong solution.During your...

Early postop swelling can certainly mask inadequacies after nose surgery. The photos to me don't show anything weird going on, other than the bridge wasn't modified perhaps as much as you needed. The way the photos are zoomed in on your nose, I can't tell whether there might be other areas to...

We'd need to know how long it's been since surgery, too, since we like to wait closer to a year after a nose operation before trying again. Finally, remember that any "revision" rhinoplasty (operating on a nose that has already had a rhinoplasty) is an exquisitely difficult operation to get...
