Tiny indent 5-6 years post rhinoplasty. Is this valve collapse? (Photo)
February 21, 2024
Asked By:alexsm in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
I have a very tiny indent on the right side of my nose. It’s only noticeable in harsh light. I’m not sure how long it has been there. Am I over thinking this or is this Middle Valve Collapse? My nose was naturally very thin, so the sides have not been surgically changed. Only dorsal hump and tip. Help?
