Is this a mid vault collapse 1 year post-op? (photo)

Asked By:Terrific32504 in Sacramento, California

Hello, I got a rhinoseptoplasty with turbinate reduction November of 2023. I noticed immediately after surgery that I had a prominent line on my nose that lined up with my nasolabial fold. As the swelling has gone down it has become less noticeable, but I can still feel a strange sensation almost like sagging pressure and still see a faint line. Is this a mid vault collapse? Would I need an open rhinoplasty to add a rib graft or can this be done closed? My primary rhinoplasty was closed. Thanks
