I had a rhinoplasty 10 months ago. Is this an inverted V deformity? (Photo)

Question

I had a rhinoplasty in May 2023. About 8 months after I developed this as shown in the picture. Is this an inverted v deformity?

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

It is an inverted V deformity. In your case I think your bones were not adequately narrowed. There are two options. One is to infracture the bones and the other is known as spreader  grafts

Additional photos would be necessary to confirm this diagnosis. Sometimes this appearance can be improved with injectable fillers, in a non-surgical fashion. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Richard G. Reish, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may have an inverted V deformity.  This can be addressed with osteotomies, spreader grafts, and a soft fascial onlay graft. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can see from your photos you have permanent bumps on your nose. and they have an irregular structure. For get rid of this image I recommend you revision rhinoplasty surgery.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!

It looks like you have a step off at the edge of your nasal bones.
To make an accurate assessment regarding the outcome of any plastic surgical procedure we generally need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures.
If you don’t have before, and after pictures to ask your surgeon to forward, the pictures they took.
Your surgeon is also the correct person to follow up with regarding the outcome of your procedure.
 Best,
