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

Asked By:kari2610 in Toronto, KS

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...

Answer: Naah. Not really a middle vault collapse. But there's room for lots of improvement. See the morph I made from your photos.
