Do I have inverted v deformity? (photos)

I can see that you have a visible portion of your bridge that appears to be more convex on the right than on the left. This appears to be at the junction of your bone and nasal cartilage. Sometimes smaller regularities like this can be camouflaged with microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections, thus avoiding surgery. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

From your photographs, it’s difficult to tell whether you have an inverted V deformity. If so, you may have a very mild one. If it concerns you, point this out to your plastic surgeon at the time of your rasping of your nasal bump, and this could likely be corrected at the same time. Best wishes.

It dies not apoear that you have an inverted V deformity . A minor adjustment to the bridge using a file should suffice

It is possible, based on these photos, that you have discrete inverted V deformity. This should be discussed with your surgeon ahead of surgery. Good luck.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs alone, it is not possible to tell if this is an inverted V deformity. In my practice, I caution against rasping as a standalone procedure. This often times can look good for two months, but after one year does not look good and has even worse contour irregularities. Instead, I would perform this with a combination of rasping and a fascial onlay graft to produce a smooth, long-term result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

To make an assessment we need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures.
If you don’t have before and after pictures then ask your provider to forward the pictures they took.
We can’t really make quality assessment based on the information provided.
