How to fix depression in lower nasal bridge? (Photo)

Question

Second surgery was an open septorhino, and the last month I have noticed a depression in the cartilaginous part of the nose past the keystone area. I still have a small dorsal bump, which I’m fine with as its a naturally occurring imperfection but after the bump transitions into a very noticeable depression, which gives an impression of false upturn/supra tip break. What is the best way to fix this depression in cartilage? Another open revision in which some form of cartilage is grafted?

Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections may be considered for adding permanent volume below your bump for less of a dip in your bridge. Based on your history, it may be best to keep another nasal surgery as a last resort. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photos your dorsum seems very thick and no projection. Altough it might collapsed too after the surgery. If you can provide photos with better lighting, from the front of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

To make an accurate assessment regarding the outcome of a plastic surgery procedure we generally need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have before, and after pictures, the master surgeon to forward the pictures they took.
Without having a clear understanding of where you started, and what the procedure did, it’s hard to give you a good recommendation regarding the outcome. Getting a good assessment also requires having a clear understanding of what you were trying to obtain.
Follow up with your provider or schedule a few in person, second opinion, consultations with other plastic surgeons in your community. For second opinion consultations I suggest coming prepared bringing with you to complete set up before and after pictures and a copy of your previous operative report. These are all available from your current providers office if you request them.Best,
