Shadow on nose after Rhinoplasty? Should I get secondary? (photos)

April 7, 2015
Asked By:kimmyylynn in Seattle, WA

I had my deviated septum correction/ rhinoplasty last auguest. I had such a severe deviated septum I had to see a specialist. My septum healed Crooked overtime (which we figured it would due to my extremely twisted septum) and now I have an awful shadow on the bridge of my nose about 7 months healed it appeared it looks like I have a sunglasses tan. What should I tell my surgeon? What are ways to correct the shadow? Fillers ?
