I'm very scared of doing another revision on my nose. Every time I try to get something corrected it ends up worse. The first Dr did two, first time I ended up with acrooked nose. The second time I ended up with a piggy nose. Last one was in December 2008 with a different Dr, my main concern was the columella hanging, now I have no assymetry and hanging columella. does my nose have hope or do I just live with it? Thanks for your opinions.
