Can rasping of a callus cause an inverted V deformity?

It would be very unlikely for that to happen. An inserted v typically is caused by removing a hump larger than that removed by rasping alone

In general, when somebody forms a dorsal hump after nasal trauma, when it is rasped, this may lead to a wider nasal appearance. In that regard, performing a procedure like this under local anesthetic in the office is not some thing that we offer. Since rasping a bump causes an open roof deformity, osteotomies are typically performed. This should not result in an inverted V deformity. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph

it is impossible to give you meaningful answers without in-person evaluation. A consultation with a plastic surgeon with expertise in nose surgery is strongly recommended. Good luck.

Hi @lovybunny, Excellent question. Technically yes if the rasping is done too forcefully or in a location where it causes separation of the upper lateral cartilages from the nasal bones. I recommend a consultation with a rhinoplasty specialist. Best of luck, Dr. Ghazizadeh

Your question is a bit non-specific.
Depending on the situation this and a number of other unfortunately outcomes are possible from any type of rhinoplasty procedure.
Simple problems addressed by highly competent individuals are the least likely to cause highly undesirable outcomes while the opposite is also true.
