Did my surgeon shave my bone down too much in my revision/septoplasty? (Photo)

Question

How would this be fixed? Should I go back to the same surgeon? He said fat grafting would fix this however something deep down doesn't feel right to me.

The interface between the upper lateral cartilages and the nasal bones needs to be smoothed out.  Possibly just some additional rasping of the bony bridge can smooth out your dorsal aesthetic lines.

Hello. The problem in your nose is not due to excessive filing, but due to irregularities in the bone and cartilage structure. 
Fat injection/grefting is not a good solution for surgery, it will look rougher and wavy.  You can get a much easier solution with a revision surgery. You can check out my Instagram account or YouTube channel to see our successful results in revision surgeries.

Since you have had to previous nasal surgeries, and since you appear to have very thin nasal skin, it may be best to keep surgery as a last resort. Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon 1000 injections may be considered for raising your upper bridge to camouflage the small bump. It may also be considered for filling the visible indentation on front view. An examination would be necessary to determine your candidacy. I hope this is helpful, and thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, I would recommend rasping of the dorsum to smooth it followed by morselized bone dorsal onlay graft or mastoid fascia dorsal onlay graft. 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.
