8 months post-op - nose deformities visible, bone isn’t smooth and cartridge still looks swollen. What should I do? (Photos)

June 21, 2022

I’ve had my plastic surgery done almost 8 months ago. The procedure was initially for my septum because I had breathing problems. And because I had a dorsal hump the doctor asked me if I wanted it also gone, so I said yes. The surgery went well and I liked the new shape of my nose but as the swelling got down deformaties and shadows became more visible. Went to my 6 month post-op and the doc said that everything is fine but im worrying because the front and the side of my nose aren’t smooth..
