Open roof deformity 8 months post op? (photo)

  The open roof is difficult to appreciate, if it is present.  The tip can certainly be refined if there is no improvement over the next 4 months.  Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds
of rhinoplasties and rhinoplasty revisions each year. Then look at the
plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a
sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

While you may feel a small gap between your nasal bones it doesn't appear as if you have a significant open roof deformity. Best to be assessed in person. Your nose likely is not completely healed and will change over the next few months. If at the end of a year of healing you still are hoping for more refinement talk to your surgeon and see what your options are. A second opinion may also help you understand what can and cannot be obtained with your nose. I hope this helps.

Pictures and written descriptions are limited in diagnosing any situation but an open roof is possible. Ask your rhinoplasty surgeon what he/she thinks. Revision is a viable possibility.  Good luck!

Based on your pre-operative and post-operative pictures, it is hard to diagnosis an open roof. A physical examination is necessary. Consult and trust your surgeon or seek a second opinion.Best wishes

Very hard to tell what is after vs before in your posted photos. As for "open roof" deformity over the internet can not see it.. Best to seek IN PERSON second opinions. If you do have a minor "open roof" than only revision surgery can correct...  

Hi,It looks like you may have an over-resected dorsum. This can leave you with an open roof deformity. It's difficult to say without seeing it in person. Best,DrS

It is difficult to diagnose an open roof deformity with just pictures but what I see is consistent with that problem where the nasal bones are separated in the mid-line. Although you're just 8 months post-op I suggest you start considering a revision which will be necessary to fix the nasal contour that you don't like.
