I got a rhinoplasty in 2018 when I was 18 years old. I asked for the bump on my nose to be removed and the tip to be a little smaller. I asked for a pretty natural nose job. Everytime I take pictures with flash, my nose looks completely deformed. From the side it’s fine, but it’s crooked from the front. What happened during the original rhinoplasty? Is this normal or did the surgeon mess up? Can it be fixed?
Answer: Sorry, but this does not look like a successful rhinoplasty. I have some ideas ... The irregularity on frontal view looks like what we call an "open roof" deformity, where the upper part of the nose, where it's made of bone, is not connected to the middle and lower parts, where it's made of cartilage. But then, and I know you only posted this frontal view, it looks like the tip of your nose sits so low. I would expect the profile and 3/4 views to show a nose that might be longer than you ideally want it.

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty to change shape... Based on your photos, you are a great candidate for revision rhinoplasty. The bridge may need to be reset to make it more uniform and straight as well. Be sure to see a rhinoplasty expert for consultation.

Answer: Some people are candidates for permanent non-surgical nose job treatments. Since you appear to have thin nasal skin, you are probably experiencing shrink wrap. That is when the overlying skin shrinks down onto underlying cartilages and irregularities may become visible many years after rhinoplasty. Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 nasal injections may be considered for camouflaging the irregularities that you are seeing. It is difficult to make a call, based on the photographs that you posted. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Answer: Nose looks crooked from the front You have what's called inverted V deformity of the nose which is made worse by shadow effects when taking photographs. This happened because your upper lateral cartilages have collapsed inward, and your nasal bones are too wide, and you may not have had osteotomies at your primary rhinoplasty. A revision closed rhinoplasty can accomplish placement of spreader grafts to widen the mid vault that is collapsed, and lateral osteotomy to narrow the nasal bones. It's very important to know how much cartilage is left over on the inside of your nose to use as a spreader graphs. Revision rhinoplasty is the most difficult procedure to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery, so choose your second surgeon very wisely based on extensive experience, producing natural results and dealing with this issue.
