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.

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
