Asked By:Esther_35 in Ithaca, NY

Hello,i'm 4 month post septorhinoplasty.Already 2 weeks after cast removal i saw the asymmetry, thought it's because of swelling.Now even my surgeon agree,that's asymmetry. The nasal bone on 1 side is sunken.My surgeon suggested to fill that area with hyaluronic acid. Is it good idea 4 m.post op?My surgeon want to put the cartilage in order to fill the missing area on nasal bone instead to break the bone again after 6 m.post op.What do you think about this? How is the result in general?Thank you
