Asked By:Thirdtimesacharm in Los Angeles, CA

15 months post op for my first rhino revision. To summarize both surgeries. The cartilage from the left side of my nose was aggressively removed to treat a minor breathing problem. this lead my nose to become rounded with visible Marks of the loss of cartilage around my left nostril. wNt goal is to add cartilage to the left side of my nose where the nose bone meets the nostrils. Is it upper lateral cartilage and lesser alar is missing? If that's so can it be corrected? Or something different?
