Would a Revision Help This Crooked Nose? (photo)

I had a rhinoplasty 3 years ago and it went fairly well except my frontal view still bothers me. The right side is totally flat and the left side bulges out from the nasal bone down threw the bridge. Also the nostrils are two different sizes and shapes. Could a revision help straighten the nose even more?

Revision surgery after Rhinoplasty

Revision Rhinoplasty surgery is very complex business. Yes, having another procedure can straighten the nose but you need to choose very carefully a surgeon who is board certified to perform them and that has a great reputation.

The simple answer is: Yes, revision rhinoplasty could potentially make your nose much straighter. The nostril irregularity could also be improved, but especially with the nostrils some imperfection and asymmetry will remain. As long as you remember the goal is improvement, not perfection, then you may be a candidate for revision surgery.

A Revision Nose Surgery COULD Help This Crooked Nose

Nose Surgery is a complex surgery. Re-do Nose Surgery is a MORE complex surgery. A Redo of a redo Nose surgery can be a VERY challenging surgery. BUT - it could straighten the nose completely. Without examining you it is improper to suggest a course of treatment. However, speaking in generalities, it appears your nose was pushed from your right to left and is deviated. It most likely would require breaking the nose along specific lines to bring it back to the midline AND narrow it.... more

Crooked nose

Would need to know what exactly was done previously. Striaghtening a crooked nose is one of the most challenging goals in rhinoplasty. You would require a nasal bone osteotomy to reposition the upper 2/3rds. The septum may also require repositioning.
