Indent on nostril after rhinoplasty 1 year ago - can it be fixed? (photos)

February 10, 2022
Asked By:hiffploff in New York, New York, USA

I had my rhinoplasty a year ago. The surgeon said that my nose was not simple but also not too difficult, thin skin on the bridge and thick skin on the tip. I told him I would rather have him take a little bit than too much, because I wanted a natural result. As the swelling went down the indent on the nostril became worse and more visible. Can this be fixed and how? I would like to hear your opinions. White eyes are 6 months post op and 1 year post op.
