Will I need reconstructive or revision rhinoplasty to fix the collapsed cartilage on the side of my nose?

I had two pervious rhinoplasties and the right side of my nose seems to have collapsed. The left side has two indents from what seems to be th kenalog injection. I'm two years post op from my revision surgery. I'm so disappointed. I went to a very well known rhinoplasty surgeon. What do I need to do to fix this? Uneven nostrils as well.

Thank you for your question. Looking at the pictures you've sent and the description I can say that your nose has a few things to fix despite its primary tip plasty. They are asymmetry, irregularity, bulbousenss (boxy appearance), and notched alar rim.It is judged that these problems can be...

Thank you for providing photos along with your question. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to determine why you still have a scar on your nose from these photos alone. One theory is that you have thick skin on your nose that may be interfering with the 5-FU injections. If that’s the case, then red...
