I Had a Rhynoplasty One Year and 2 Month Ago, and It Looks a Bit Deviated? (photo)

I Had a Rhynoplasty One Year and 2 Month Ago, and It Looks a Bit Deviated?

Photos are very helpful. In my opinion leave well enough alone. You look good. Yes there is a minor deviation but to undergo another operation after a year+ would be something I would nit recommend.
