Do I have inverted v deformity or saddle nose deformity? (photos)

February 15, 2023
Asked By:Marmaladegirl in New York, NY

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.
