Nostrils look significantly uneven. Can I avoid a 3rd revision rhinoplasty? (Photos)

April 30, 2025
Asked By:Compassionate809566 in Bend, Oregon

I had a second revision rhinoplasty 7 months ago to correct graft work from a previous surgeon and address nasal collapse from my first procedure. Unfortunately, my nostrils still look significantly uneven. Is there any way to avoid a third revision? Could a surgeon potentially shave or sculpt the scar tissue in the smaller nostril to better match the right side? I'm really hoping to avoid going through another surgery.
