I got a nose job when I was 21 years old. Now I am 25. My doctor lives in California and I moved to a different state for college. From the beginning I noticed that my nose looked crooked and lopsided. Is what I see true or am I just seeing things. What should I tell my doctor when I go back home to speak to him about my concerns.

Nasal Revision

I cannot tell if your nose is crooked, but it is definitely asymmetrical. I suggest you share your disappointment with your surgeon. If he does not do revision surgery, find an experienced revision surgeon whose results you like.

Nasal asymmetry after rhinoplasty

I notice the asymmetry of the nose in the pictures that you provided. I suggest you address all your concerns with your surgeon once you return to CA. However, revision rhinoplasty is generally a more challenging operation and I encourage you to seek an expert in revision rhinoplasty if you contemplate another operation.

Undesirable Rhinoplasty Outcome in California

I would exactly agree with the term 'botched' nose job, however, you are not seeing things. There are some issues regarding symmetry as seen in the photo provided. My advice is to approach your rhinoplasty surgeon with your concerns and discuss matters openly. Hopefully he/she has the confidence and technical ability to further reshape the nose. Good luck.

Unwanted results after rhinoplasty

Unfortunately, not all rhinoplasty patients will obtain the results they desire. You do appear to have a concavity on the right side of your nose and tip. Talk to your original surgeon to see what options you have for a revision. Make sure however that your surgeon is very experienced in revision rhinoplasty, because revision rhinoplasty is a much more difficult than primary rhinoplasty. Review before and after photos from your surgeon for patients with similar... more

Crooked nose after rhinoplasty

It does appear in the photos that you provided there is some asymmetry to your nose especially the tip region.

I would encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon and see what options are available to you. I hope this information helps.

Post rhinoplasty

Your photos definitely show asymmetry. Are you having any breathing problems? You should discuss your result with your surgeon and make sure he feels comfortable doing revision rhinoplasty. Donald R. Nunn MD Plastic Surgeon.

Crooked nose after rhinoplasty

From the photos you've submitted I agree that there are some asymmetries and contour irregularities to your nose. It's hard to fully assess things with limited views of your nose and without an in-person exam, but it is certainly reasonable to discuss your specific concerns with your surgeon. If you're not satisfied with that discussion you could seek further opinions from additional surgeons, though I would strongly recommend finding someone who has extensive revision... more

Recommending a revision rhinoplasty

Dear Monica with rhinoplasty question from Boston, From limited view of your nasal pictures, it appears that your dorsal nasal septum is deviated to the left causing asymmetry also known as a crooked nose. This also has caused your nasal tip to look more bulky on the right side. Since it has been 4 years since your initial surgery, I would recommend a revision rhinoplasty. If you wish to know an expert revision rhinoplasty surgeon in your area, please let me know and I would recommend one... more

Nasal Tip Irregularities After Rhinoplasty

I have reviewed your pictures. Unfortunately the pictures do not provide all vantage points needed to evaluate the nose, but from your concerns I agree that the nose is crooked (twist to the right) and that an indentation exists along the right side of the nasal tip. The twist that has occur ed can be from a number of causes including deviation of the nasal septum, irregular postoperative scarring, or collapse of the nasal cartilage from aggressive removal in the prior surgery... more

You should consult an experienced revision rhinoplasty specialist to improve the appearance of your nose.

I read your concerns and reviewed your photos. The base of your nose appears to veer to your right, and you appear to have an asymmetrical tip with an indentation above your tip on your right side. It's possible that some of your concerns could be addressed by a well-performed non-surgical rhinoplasty procedure using Injectable Fillers. I cannot be sure without seeing a profile photo. My hunch is that you may have a hanging columella and excessive curvature of your columella that... more

Unfavorable rhinoplasty results.

Dear Monica1. Based on your photographs, I believe that you have some legitimate concerns. From a frontal view it would appear that there is deviation of your nasal dorsum. The middle vault (upper lateral cartilages and septum) appear deviated to your left. The nasal tip (lower lateral cartilages and caudal septum) appear deviated to return back to the mid-line. The result is a reverse C-shaped deviation. In addition, the nasal tip seems to have some... more
