Asked By:nk16716 in Mansfield, Texas

11 mon. ago, I had an open septorhinoplasty to correct a deviated septum allowing for better breathing. Before surgery, he suggested shaving down the dorsal hump, which I didn’t think would hurt. My surgeon has left me unclear after many checkups as to why my nose changed the way it did. The side profile is fine, but from the front, my nose has lost its definition entirely, & the tip/nostril area has changed (widened). I am desperate for intel and if there is anything that can be done to fix
