Hey! It seems that I have a ton of scar tissue in my nostrils. It's hard and wavy. I'm 1 year post rhinoplasty. Is this amount of scar tissue normal? II will need a revision rhinoplasty. My nose has to be widened significantly. It’s pinched. Will this amount of scar tissue affect a revision rhinoplasty negatively or does it even make it impossible? I also have very thin and contracted skin.
