I had a rhinoplasty almost a 1.5 years ago now. after I got my cast off I noticed indents on either side of my nose and a ridge under the tip of my nose. My doctor said it was just swelling and it should go away. only one of the indents improved. I asked my doctor at my 1 year mostly out of structural concerns and he told me not to worry.
