Is there a rhinoplasty revision specialist who can fix a crooked nose? I'm looking for a surgeon to give me a revision rhinoplasty. I had 2 nose surgeries 5 years ago by the same doctor. I wasn't happy with the results. My nose is not symmetrical and the tip points down below my nostrils when I smile.I want to find a good rhinoplasty revision specialist to make my nose symmetrical and lift the columella. I live in NC and I would appreciate any information. Can my nose be fixed to look the way I want it to? I've included a photo.
