At the top of my bridge, the part in between my eyes, on one side ( my left side) it feels like I'm missing part of my bone. It's slightly indented, I can touch it and feel an indent plus I can feel jagged edges on the bone. Like too much bone was chiseled out. It also hurts still, 3 years after surgery. Can a revision fix it? And if so, how? It's by the black line in photo
Answer: Nasal Bones Good Afternoon! I see what you're talking about. It could be that the nasal bone was in fact too aggressively reduced. The nasal bones are thin in most patients and too much manipulation can cause problems. This is an area where improvements can be made, but it isn't always easy. Grafts (cartilage +/- soft tissue) can be placed to provide more bulk to the area thus helping symmetry. If you're comfortable with your initial surgeon, bring up your concerns to see what can be done. If not, seek out multiple consultations with Facial Plastic Surgeons to learn more about the treatment. Hope this helps!

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty Hello! Thank you for your question.From the information and photo you provided, it may be cartilage sticking out of your nasal bridge.I would recommend you a revision rhinoplasty to correct it. It is very high on the bridge so without a revision rhinoplasty it is not possible to correct it.

Answer: Irregularities of the nasal bone after rhinoplasty do not necessarily need to be treated. Most people experience differences in how their right and left nasal bone feels after rhinoplasty surgery, especially when bony work and osteotomies were performed. As long as there is no visible irregularity, there is no need to treat this. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty I'm sorry to hear about the concerns you have regarding your nasal bridge after your previous surgery. Without a physical examination and access to your medical history, it's challenging for me to provide a definitive answer. However, I can offer some general information.

Answer: What can be done during revision rhinoplasty fixing missing bone You don't have any missing bone, but you have an inverted upper lateral cartilage that is not in alignment with your left nasal bone. You will require an osteotomy placed in the left nasal bone and a cartilage spreader graft placed along that concave upper lateral cartilage in the midportion of your nose. It's important to know how much cartilage is left over on the inside of the nose for grafting purposes, so it's best to get a copy of the operative report. You'll also have to remove the piercing for at least a few months after the procedure
