I had a rhinoplasty procedure 30 months ago. The main purpose of the surgery was to reestablish the structure of the nasal bones which had been damaged by a severe blow to the face when I was wearing glasses ie the area damaged corresponding to where the nose pads routinely rest. The surgeon said this was possible using donated cartilage. I see no improvement in this area, rather it appears the cartilage was used either side of the middle third. I have developed a pollybeak deformity. Thoughts?
