How invasive is the process of fixing an open roof deformity during a revision rhinoplasty?

September 25, 2023
Asked By:Ruby_S

I had my hump shaved down during my primary septorhinoplasty almost a year ago. I have a hard bump on one side of my nasal bridge next to my eye & the area below it caves inwards so that it casts a shadow disrupting the nasal bridge line. This is making my nose look more crooked than it is. I'm satisfied with the rest of my nose. How invasive would the procedure be to fix this with osteotomies? Can it be done with a closed approach and would the recovery & healing be shorter?
