Overturned tip & nostril show, do you think it can be fixed? (Photos)

Question

I decided to get a rhinoplasty with the only concern of a side hump. I really liked my nose, specially the tip. I just wanted to make that subtle change. The surgeon I went to did a lot of changes that led to an overturned tip and a lot of nostril show.I wanted something natural and he left me with and obvius overdone nose. I feel terrible and self conscious. Do you think it can be fixed? Besides, my columella is hanging from one side from bad suture

We'd need to know how long it's been since surgery, too, since we like to wait closer to a year after a nose operation before trying again.
Finally, remember that any "revision" rhinoplasty (operating on a nose that has already had a rhinoplasty) is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. And it also discusses how to take photos that are best for online evaluations.

And for those who have had previous surgery, like you, it also discusses how to tell whether your first surgeon should be performing your revision.

Hello! Thank you for your question.From the photos you provided it looks like your nose is very upturned. You are right your nostrils are showing too much. I recommend you a revision rhinoplasty to correct this, because even with some time, there is a risk that it won't drop.
Best regards!Prof. Dr. Selcuk Inanli

I’m sorry to read that you are non satisfied with your rhinoplasty outcome.

In my experience, a revision rhinoplasty could ameliorate your nose-in good hands.

Of course, an “in person” exam is necessary.

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
