Hi everyone, some time after my primary rhinoplasty a bump appeared on my bridge. My doctor will rasp it down in a July, however it looks like I have a inverted-V deformity?

Answer: Dorsal irregularity after rhinoplasty 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.

Answer: Rhinoplasty 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. Richard G.
