Dent in tip after revision - how soon can I add filler? (Photos)

jddainoDec 22, 2021
Immediately following my revision, I had an indent in my tip. My surgeon said it was my skin as skin is baked with abnormalities and I have thin skin there. He said we could address it with filler or crushed cartilage at 1yr. I would like to address it now. How soon can you add filler to the tip of the nose? Will adding it negatively affect the healing process? Ideally I could use a hylaronic filler that dissolves over time with the swelling until 1yr mark and then address with cartilage.

You look absolutely fine. There is nothing that egregiously stands out to me that needs to be addressed/fixed other than working on your skin some (I can't tell if there is acne scarring). Your nose is a normal size for your face, your chin, if anything, might actually be too big. I strongly...
