I am very unhappy with my results one year post op. I have a huge dent in the middle of my nose where the bone was shaved and on the tip I keep getting a recurring skin infection which almost looks like bad sunburn. When I run my finger down my nose I can feel loads of lumps and bumps which I assume is uneven cartilage? How can I fix this - is revision surgery my only option?
