Is my rhinoplasty fixable? Or is it botched? Professional opinion required (Photos)

Question

I had a rhinoplasty in May 2022, it all seemed to be healing perfectly, until the swelling completely went and the slope of my nose is not straight. It really bothers me when I have flash photos taken. And it seems to not be pitched at a straight angle when looking straight on. My surgeon said this was a particularly difficult procedure as my pre surgery nasal bone came down all the way to the tip of my nose. Any advice or opinions welcomed.

You appear to have a slight inverted V deformity.  This is usually corrected with surgery, placing a cartilage graft in the area of the depression.  It may be possibly to camouflage with HA filler and avoid surgery.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a revision with placement of spreader grafts and a fascial dorsal onlay graft to provide a smooth contour of your mid-vault. With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
