Status post rhinoseptoplasty 2018. Unable to remember the details, but did have grafting from my ear to help build up the tip of my nose. Initially loved the appearance of my nose, however, progressively started to notice some deviation but chalked it up to poor lighting or the angle. Now, it is undeniably noticeable regardless of lighting or angle. Is this an inverted v deformity? What causes this? I understand revision is the next step, but what exactly should be done to help prevent this from happening again?
