do I have an open roof deformity? How can this be fixed?
Answer: Open roof deformity Based on the photographs it is not possible to make the deduction that there is open roof deformity. However there is a possibility of early open roof deformity that is showing. This would need to be corrected if it gets worse by using either grafts to camouflage it or completing the osteotomies and bringing the side nasal bones together.RegardsDr. J

Answer: Do I have an open roof deformity post rhinoplasty? You definitely have visible irregularities which are consistent with an osteotomy that has not healed properly. Without an examination, it would not be possible to know whether you have an open roof, or bony fragments that need to be smoothed out. You do have a suggestion of an inverted V deformity, although again, an in person examination would be helpful. In any case you would benefit from a revision rhinoplasty, which could be as simple as rasping the irregularities ( often can be done as an office procedure), or more complex with osteotomies, and the need for cartilage grafting. .

Answer: Depending on your examination, the indentations in your upper bridge after rhinoplasty may be filled. Your nasal profile appears nice. If you are satisfied with the width of your bridge on front view, the irregularities seen on your upper bridge maybe filled with microdroplet Silikon-1000 for permanent results.If you're looking for a narrower appearance of your nasal bridge, repeat osteotomies may be considered.Hope this helps you.Dr Joseph

Answer: Treatment for an open roof deformity To confirm the presence of an open roof deformity requires a physical examination and palpation of the bridge line. It appears that there may be an open roof deformity along with wide nasal bones. Medial and lateral osteotomies of the nasal bones can close the open roof and narrow the bridge line. For many examples of narrowing a wide nose with osteotomies, please see the link and the video below

Answer: Open roof? It is difficult to say from the one photo and so early in your recovery whether or not you will develop an open roof.
