I had rhinoplasty a few years ago. I am Asian so my original nose was very wide. My surgeon refined the tip by removing fatty tissue from the tip and supratip region as well as some of the lower lateral cartilage. Around 3 months after my rhinoplasty I started to notice a dent on the left side of my nose (right side in the photos) beside the tip. The dent became more apparent as the swelling decreased. Is the dent something that can be fixed easily in a revision? Also, can my tip be refined further?

Having a dorsal augmentation during your rhinoplasty will stretch the overlying skin but shouldn't affect the appearance of your eyes long-term. I prefer to use the patient's own tissue (autologous) instead of implants for Asian rhinoplasties due to the decreased risk of complications...
