Can a Revision Rhinoplasty Make my Nose Worse?
I had an open "finesse" rhino/septo at the end of Feb 2010. The bridge of my nose appeared straight, but my PS said I did have a slightly dev sept. However, now my bridge pulls to the right and in 4 mos my PS wants to rebreak the nasal bridge and reset the bone bc it didn't heal properly. What could have caused this? I notice it alot and really want my straight bridge back!!! Is there any risk that I could further deform my nose. Everything else is fine...just the bridge is pullin to rite

Revision rhinoplasty
Of course it can. It really depends on who is doing your revision, his plan for the surgery, his previous experience, and thx number of times that you have had rhinoplasty. It also depends on his bad your nose is at it's current state.

Crocked nose
Crocked nose after surgery is probably due to the bones were not set right.
Refracturing the bones and setting them in the right place may help . I would add spreader grafts to make sure it is straight
