I had a closed primary rhinoplasty 2 months ago. Dent on one nostril was visible immediately after surgery. I prefer no dent. The dent is visible in all lighting and can be felt with a finger if you run it along the rim. There is enough skin there, it’s just not as full as the other side. How difficult would it be to fix this? Would filler do the trick? Note: I do understand it is standard to wait one full year to allow full healing and that until then there is swelling present.
