Rhinoplasty: Q&A
Ask a QuestionRhinoplasty and Nose is Still Wide and Crooked? (photo)
I had a rhinoplasty procedure in 2006. I feel that the results were an improvement but I have been unhappy with the fact that my nose is still wider than I had hoped. I feel that my nose is crooked and nostrils are too wide. Any suggestions?
