3 months post op. Looking crooked and what looks like a inverted v. What happened to my nose?
Thanks for your post and photos. I am beginning to see a suggestion of an inverted v deformity of your nose and some deviation to the dorsum. The shadow of the "v" is caused by a number of factors and some are easier to correct than others. Relatively speaking, yours should be easier to fix. In your case, you may be seeing some signs of deformity because your nasal bone are still too wide in relationship to your upper lateral cartilages or your upper lateral cartilages are too narrow for your nasal bones or both. It is difficult to tell from photos alone exactly what is going on though. At the beginning of your recovery, you may not appreciate this inverted v shadow due to swelling. As you heal and the swelling goes down naturally, sometimes issues arise in this area. This is particularly true with the removal of a larger hump. Depending on how your exam appears in the next 6 to 12 months, revision may need to be considered. Correction may be as simple as narrowing your nasal bones further or improving your dorsal aesthetic lines with spreader grafts to the middle vault. A respectful discussion with your surgeon should lead to the proper diagnosis and treatment plan as you continue to recover. I suggest you let your nose heal a bit longer before making any decisions about future correction.
