Asked By:clac in phoenix in arizona

I had my rhino[plasty 4 months ago using rib and recently, my kid flung the door and the corner hit right on my bridge in between my eyes. The pain lasted for awhile. After the swell went down, i notice that my bridge is not smooth anymore. It seems like there is a dent on the bridge caused by the hit. It bothers me alot and I would like to know if it can be fixed and what can my doctor do to smooth it out.
