Hello! I’m five months post op from an open rhinoplasty I had done in Istanbul. While I love my new nose, as the swelling was going down I noticed a spot of hypopigmentation and bumps along my bridge about two months ago. I consulted with my surgeon and asked him if the hypopigmentation was caused by the kenalog injection I received. He said no because they don’t inject in that region, but I believe that did. I was advised to visit dermatology in two months. Will this go away on its own??

Generally, if one has a tip graft to increase projection and they don’t like it, then it’s possible to revise the surgery and trimming of the tip graft or placing a small graft could help modify tip projection.
Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can see from your photos you nose is wide, tip of your nose is very deprojected. For gain more projected, narrow and elegant looking I recommend you rhinoplasty with alar base plasty. For the rib cartilage your surgeon will decide it in the surgery...
Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can understand from your question you need to do these 2 surgeries at one time because of the scar tissue. This surgeries have same scar area and when you do one after another you mgiht have a bigger scar under the nose. It would be more convenient...
