I was left with a radix ball between my eyes after my first closed rhinoplasty. It revealed itself within 6 mo as I have thin skin. I had a Revision with different Dr to address an open roof, irregularities on bridge and a collapse on left side. At 6mo radix showed and my surgeon tried to go in with a cannula and file it directly without going through nose. It worked for about 9 mo then became prominent a year later. What are my options to fix this or conceal it? Can it be done closed?
