Asked By:Yeskelly in NYC

How difficult is complete removal or reduction of DCF after a year due to improper positioning/3mm shifting directly after OP? Dorsal graft height 7-9mm (excessive height + too narrow b/w radix) curve on side, graft protrusion palpable superior right lateral aspect b/w eyes w/ indent +sharp superficial tissue. Inferior left lat soft tissue lump palpable since post op. (nose looks like a 'forward slash'). Surgeon unwilling to revise. Suggestions appreciated. post op = Petite w/ masculin nose.
