Asked By:Anonymous2366047 in United Kingdom, GB

I had rhinoplasty recently and was left with a side profile that wasn't straight, as well as sharp edges of my nasal bones that appear as bumps from a quater of the way around. My surgeon said they need 'adequate' filing but i am concerned that it could cause an open roof to form,or dents (as i've heard dents are common when filing the sides of the nasal bone).The top needs rasping as well as alot off the uneven edges.Is this risky to do? Ps.My says i do not have open roof deformity at present
