Dip in Nose After Swelling Disappeared from Septorhinoplasty. What to Do?

April 5, 2011
Asked By:jeff716a

Had deviated septum and nose from baseball when young. Nose had bump and projected a little too far. Gave Dr. photoshopped pictures of very straight profile that he agreed were perfectly doable results. 2 months after surgery, swelling completely gone, but revealed prominent dip between top & bottom of nose. It was there when cast came off, but VERY subtle, so I didn't mind. Now I do mind though. Would a cartilage graft achieve this? How long do I have to wait to fix this?
