Hello! Thank you for your question.From the photos you provided it looks like your nasal bridge is deviated on the bottom. A revision rhinoplasty would fix the deviation (but you will probably need rib cartilage reconstruction). Without a full consultation it is hard to say for sure if cartilage is needed or not.Best regards!

It is possible for a touch-up operation to improve the appearance of the bottom two-thirds of your nose, but it depends on several factors, including the nature and extent of the previous surgery and the specific concerns you have with your nose.

If your nasal bones are stable and in the correct position, the focus of the touch-up operation may be on refining the tip of the nose or improving any asymmetries or irregularities in the lower two-thirds of the nose. Techniques such as cartilage grafting, suturing, or additional tip refinement may be used to achieve the desired results.

However, it is important to discuss your goals and expectations with your surgeon and have a thorough examination to determine whether a touch-up procedure is appropriate and what techniques may be needed to achieve the desired outcome. It is also important to have realistic expectations and understand that there may be limitations to what can be achieved with revision surgery.

Best of luck !
