Hi, I’m a 26 year old male looking to see what can be achieved through revision rhinoplasty. I had my first rhinoseptoplasty at 14 years old to correct a large dorsal hump on my nose & deviated septum. It's been 12+ years since that procedure, and my nose has grown to be crooked.

This created a depression where the cartilage bridge meets your nasal bone(as well as deviation...
