Is There a Less Invasive Procedure to Fix a Dent in The Nose After Rhinoplasty?

It is often possible to treat dents like you describe. Exactly how this could be done depends on where it is located and how large it is. Cartilage grafts can be placed with a hidden incision inside the nose in certain cases. The least invasive method of treatment is to have a skin filler injection. This isn't permanent and I generally don't recommend placing them on the tip of the nose.

I what you have is a shallow depression then you might respond well to filler, understanding that you will need it repeated periodically. Otherwise you will need some form of surgical intervention. Sometimes it's a good idea to have the filler first, see if you like the result and then have your surgeon target that result after it wears off.

Depending upon the extent of the "dent" on your nose your options range from a simple filler, to a full revision rhinoplasty requiring additional cartilage to help repair the depression. If you post photographs it is possible to give you more information.  However, some small indentions in the nose can be easily corrected in 5-10 minutes through the use of a dermal filler placed in the office. 

Best of luck,
