What can be done to revise crooked results and breathing issues 2 years after rhinoplasty? (photo)

Question

I had a revision rhinoplasty 2 years ago aiming to straighten my nose, improve breathing, and enhance my nasal bridge. Unfortunately, none of these were achieved; the septoplasty wasn't strong enough, so my nose reverted to its crooked shape, causing breathing issues. The FDC graft now shows severe irregularities visible through the skin. My surgeon refused further work. Can anything be done to fix this?

Hello and thank you for your question. It would be helpful to evaluate additional photographs from additional angles to give you more accurate advice. Generally speaking, a revision could be performed to smooth the dorsum, enhance the cosmetic results, and improve breathing. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
