Dent in nose after surgery. Should I go for revision with another surgeon? (Photo)

October 18, 2023
Asked By:snsd57 in Joliet, Illinois

I know it’s still a bit early but I just don’t think this will change. I got a septorhinoplasty back in April and it looks like there is a dent in my nose. I went to go see my surgeon for a follow up band he said it happened because the cartilage in my nose did not heal properly and turned into mush. I really want to believe him and go back in a year for the revision but at the same time I am a bit nervous and am thinking maybe I should look for another surgeon. What are you alls thoughts?
