Would a revision rhinoplasty help correct slanting? (photos)

Question

I have already gotten rhinoplasty, and my nose has healed, however it seems one side of my nose is slanted. I know all noses are asymmetrical, but at the 3/4 view from both sides of my nose there is a difference with how it looks. It seems there’s a hollow area at the root of my nose from one side. Can this be fixed? I will include photos. Thank you

Dear Peaceful614054,It is difficult to assess this properly from the two images, but in my experience this arises from a slant or deviation of the nasal septum. You are correct some asymmetries will always persist but if mild, they should have a minimal impact on the aesthetics. Ask yourself what is bothering you - is it the curvature of the bridge when viewed from the left or is it just that the two views are different? Do you have any accompanying breathing problems? Are there other aspects you would like to improve? Revision septorhinoplasty can address this issue depending on its cause and extent. All the best, Waseem Saeed
