Hello. Had rhinoplasty 7 months ago, started to notice a small indentation (dent) in the bridge of the nose. Can be seen in certain lighting conditions. Prior to the rhinoplasty, there was a hump there. Went back to surgeon, surgeon said the structure of the nose is strong, but is still settling. Said that if I am still unhappy, he can inject some filler or shave some of the bone to smooth it out. Does this sound like the correct approach? Should I be concerned? Thank you in advance.
