How can a step-off deformity be corrected (without fillers)? Primary Closed Rhinoplasty done 5 months ago (Photo)

Asked By:Zoneth in Netherlands, NL

I'm unhappy with the results of my primary rhinoplasty. Then I noticed a step-off deformity along the sides of my (bony) bridge. The surgeon performed lateral osteotomies at the base of the nasal bones (very close to the face), I still remember two little scars from the incisions there. But it also seems that he used very high intermediate osteotomies (far from the face), leaving a step-off on both sides! How can this be corrected?? What if they were performed along the nasomaxillary suture??
