Do you think I have saddle nose?

Graceful3802Jan 26, 2019
Hey guys, first time on the forum. Just a quick question really, I have been through a sad period of my life and I turned to cocaine for a while to help take my mind off things. I have stopped recently but still not mentally great, I was looking in the mirror this evening and the top of my nose almost looks like it’s sunken in! Now I would assume this is because of drug abuse and I was warned this would happen, there’s always been a slight dent there but it looks clear now. What do you think? Will this keep getting worse?

Thank you for your question. You are very early in your healing process and are likely experiencing some swelling and bruising, which are natural at this point in your recovery. It is unlikely that a pillow caused damage, but it is impossible to know without an in-person consultation. I suggest...

Hi, Photos from profile is needed as well to see from that side. As you have thick skin before any operation you need to be treated to make the skin thinner. Then after treatment and detailed examination Closed and Atraumatic Technique Rhinoplasty can give you the result Kind Regards,

Thank you for your question. This seems to be pigmentation and would be made worse by sunlight and even lasers. An OTC skin lightening cream and sun protection should help. All The Best !
