Is this a middle vault collapse? What is the treatment? I year post-op. (photos)

kari2610
I had a rhinoplasty a year ago. Upon healing, i began to see that the middle portion of my nose would dip inwards. There is clear improvement from my old nose, but the dip and remaining bump do make me insecure. I would like to know some possible reccomendations. I did visit my primary surgeon, but he said he would fix this problem by rasping the sides of the bones sidewall and the bump off as well as lifting the tip. Personally, im not sure if this is the correct way of handling this narrow issue...
