I had the following surgeries together to restore my breathing, deviated septum, and reduce a hump after having suffered injuries to my nose years prior: septorhinopasty, nasal valve repair, turbinate reduction. The surgery took 7.5 hours and there were mentions of a fracture at the L-strut and a "keystone disruption at the time of surgery". I'm not sure what this means. The complications that I have/had following surgery include hematoma, synechia L+, narrowed airways, deviated septum.

Answer: Be seen in person In your after photos, it looks like you have a bit of an inverted V, though sometimes lighting can make this look more or less severe in photos as opposed to in person. You do have a low dorsum in the after photos (which may be the look you like), but no obvious saddle deformity. If there were these issues during the initial case, the real question would be how they addressed and repaired the keystone disruption and L-strut fracture. Being seen in person would be the best way to assess your concerns and formulate a plan for how to proceed.

Answer: Your bridge is low, but not a saddle nose… A “saddle nose” may occur after loss of support of the nasal cartilage. There tends to be a more exaggerated profile nasal curve than yours. If you feel like you would like your bridge raised permanently without further surgery, microdroplet Silikon-1000 nasal injections may be considered, depending on your condition. There is a link to photos of someone with a saddle nose attached. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph
