Why is my nose so straight post-op when I asked for a slope? (Photo)

November 5, 2017
Asked By:belawillo in Seattle, WA

My doctor and I discussed my postop rhino and it was stressed that I wanted a scooped sloped nose. Unfortunately even when the cast was off my nose is completely STRAIGHT. I felt he was quick to dismiss me from my post op appointment. While my nose looks much better than before (dorsal hump removal) the slope is not there
