Why didn’t my doctor tell me I had a polly beak deformity? (Photos)

NosyofmeSep 1, 2024
I got a rhinoplasty years ago and was under the care of the surgeon for years after. My nose kept changing and not for the better. I finally realized I needed a revision and discussed a revision with them. They dismissed every single one of my concerns. Found out from another doctor I had a polly beak deformity. Why would my original surgeon pretend that everything was ok with my nose and continuously have me come into their office knowing it was a botched surgery?
