Ethnic Rhinoplasty - Possible Pinched Nose or Something Else? (Photos)

July 9, 2025
Asked By:WallImaniPs139 in New York, New York

Hello! I am reaching out to ask a question regarding my nose. I had a primary done in Dec 2023. I have been very happy w/ my results until recently. I am a bit concerned about the indentation around my nostrils. They’ve become way more pronounced recently and I am wondering if this is early signs of a pinched nose. I know I was told swelling initially was a problem, and I had two steroid shots in the early days of recovery . When I reached out to my initial surgeon about it (and some breathing problems) he assured me that everything was fine. Looking for a second opinion. Any insights on if this is an issue (pinched nose) or something else? More importantly will the indentation continue to get more pronounced? Pictures have the timeline . Thank you in advance.
