Revision Rhinoplasty Advice Needed? (photo)

I had nose reshaping done in Thailand in Nov 2010.Apparently from the medical report,the doctor did not diagnose or corrected my deviated septum so the nose appears in an S-curve frontal view.What are other nasal issues I need to be aware of and make sure are addressed during the revision.I am not sure if I can find a doctor here in Thailand who is highly experienced and skillful enough on western nose revision and may have to go to the US for this.The surgical report and pictures are attached.

Rhinoplasty revision

Revision rhinoplasty should be delayed until you are at least a year out from your previous surgery. An in-office exam is essential.

How to address revision rhinoplasty concerns

You do have several contour deformities of your bridge that would need to be addressed. Your coluemlla also appears retracted and you have a persistent bump on your bridge. The main issue that needs to be addressed with a revision is to ensure the ultimate stability of your nose to make sure that your results persist. I would recommend using an open approach (it sounds like your initial surgery was done using a closed approach) to best address your tip asymmetry. A septoplasty can be... more
