Did my surgeon deepen my radix enough? (photo)

peachesxoxo67May 4, 2019
I had rhinoplasty 10 months ago and I feel that my radix and bridge weren’t deepened/lowered enough. Do you think I would be able to achieve a deeper radix and lower bridge with a revision surgery, or do you think this would not suit my face? Also, I am aware that if my bridge and radix are lowered, then my tip will need to be deprojected more.

Dear Alinamore29, Thank you for your question. At 3 weeks it is much too soon to tell the results of your rhinoplasty operation. The scars usually end up being inconspicuous after about 2-3 months based on the location of them. Remember to always use sunscreen as well. Best of luck to you!
