6 months post op Septoplasty, dent on one side. Fix it with fillers? Options? (photos)

Hello and thank you for your question. After rhinoplasty (nasal surgery), the nose can become REALLY swollen, and this swelling can take a LONG TIME to resolve (up to 1-2 years to fully resolve). Sometimes there are focal asymmetries and depressions which become visible over time. Like your surgeon, my preference is to address these areas with dermal fillers- they are a quick, easy, minimally invasive, and very effective method for smoothing out any focal indentations to make the nose more symmetric and improve the overall rhinoplasty result. Of course they have to be periodically reinjected, as they naturally dissolve over time (usually over a year or so). The alternative is a full blown revision surgery, which is much more invasive. I constantly remind all my rhinoplasty patients how important it is to be patient after rhinoplasty surgery as it can take up to 2 years to see what the final nose will look like. I would not advise you to consider a revision operation prior to that time, especially if you are happy with the results achieved with fillers. I hope this helps!
Best,

Based on your photo, we can see that there is a small indentation along your right nasal sidewall. Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000injections maybe considered for filling this indentation permanently and for providing a straighter nasal appearance. I hope this is helpful!
