Hello! I’m 25 and I had a primary rhinoplasty done nearly 1 year ago and the results turned out completely differently than what I had expected which has been quite devastating. I have spoken to my surgeon about my concerns and he has agreed to fix it for me. My concerns are that I have a hard bump on the right hand side of my nose, my bridge is slightly dipped in the middle (hard to see in most light but you can feel it with touch), and my nose has little definition/ structure. I didn’t have these issues prior to surgery. My surgeon has said that the hard bump on the side of my nose is where he broke the bone and a protective lump has grown over it. I wanted to run this by the wider community on here and get your thoughts. I’m also wondering if I have an inverted V deformity? My bridge seems to just blend into the rest of my face now which it never did before. It’s also wider than prior to surgery. I also don’t like how one side of my tip is pinched in and other isn’t. I’d appreciate some help on naming the problem so I can get a clearer idea of what’s happened and get some peace of mind. I have attached some pictures. My revision surgery is booked for a few months time but I want to see what everyone’s thoughts are & if this is something I should trust the same surgeon to fix. Thank you so much in advance for any support or answers, I would really appreciate it.

Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can see from your photos this may be a cartilage slippage, but I recommend that you make an appointment with an ent doctor as soon as possible and consult imaging methods, it is not correct to share clear information without a detailed examination...
Believe it or not, some people will consult us with pain on the bridge of their nose and request rhinoplasty surgery because they think it will help. It is not possible to comment on your candidacy for revision rhinoplasty, however, please get a copy of your operative report from 3 years ago,...
Hello! Thank you for your question.
As far as I can understand from your question It will be possible to make an accurate evaluation if you can send your photos in a better light at 95 degree angles from the front and side profile.
It would be better face to face consultation.
Best Regards!
