Asymmetrical side view and bump on bridge - should I keep trying non-invasive options or do I need revision surgery? (photos)

concerned92May 1, 2022
Had septo-rhinoplasty 7m ago. Once cast was removed I noticed huge assymetry in my nose. Surgeon said it was swelling. Waited and had 3 injections for the swelling. The swelling went down but revealed more assymetry in the side view. I noticed a huge bump on the bridge, my surgeon wants to rasp down using local anesthesia. Will this help or should I plan for a revision surgery. My surgeon thinks that aside from the bump my results are good. I would appreciate your feedback on the result.

Yes, it should be possible to improve your nose. The tip of your nose is full and the columella is in, but, that should be fixable.

Thank you for your question and photos. I understand your frustration and am sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with your results. The good news is that your nasal bridge is thin and straight, so your revision procedure will focus exclusively on your nasal tip. I strongly recommend visiting a r...
