Bump/indent on right side of nose after revision rhinoplasty? (Photo)

October 28, 2022
Asked By:110919 in Los Angeles, California

I have an issue with my revision rhinoplasty. I had a collapsed nasal valve on the right side from my past rhinoplasty which led to a severe indent on the right side of my nose. I decided to get revision rhinoplasty done to fix this using a cartilage graft and the indentation is still there. My revision doctor said wait 4 more months and that my nose is just “healing”. He didn’t explain anything. I made an appointment to see him and i don’t know what to do. Is it scar tissue?

Jonathan Kulbersh, MD says:

Thank you for your question and for providing photos. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can improve the appearance of a droopy tip and the overall symmetry of the nasal shape, with results that can last for a year or more.
