Concern about open roof deformity - advice? (photos)

Kc00Oct 23, 2021
I had a septorhinoplasty about 6 months ago. I overall wanted a conservative result to straighten a crooked nose and fix my septum. Over the last month, have started to see more of a “dent” on the bridge. Asked my surgeon if this could be an open roof, which he quickly said no. There is a prominent bony raised area that can be palpated on my right side of nose. There was a speader graft placed on that side as well. Swelling still fluctuates a lot and this is more prominent at end of day.

Hello, From what I see, this looks fine. A rhinoplasty takes 1-3 years to completely heal and for the swelling to go down at which point you would see any problems better (if there were any at all).
