Would I benefit from a revision rhinoplasty? Over projected nose and asymmetrical nostrils

Question

I am 21 years old and I had a closed septorhiniplasty in 2019 by the NHS to correct my deviated septum as a result of a basketball injury. Unfortunately, the surgery was unsuccessful and there was no change in my nose externally or internally. I then had another surgery in 2020(open) abroad however the deviation is not corrected and now my nose has just changed cosmetically which I didn't want. It is over projected, the nostrils are asymmetrical and I don't like the tip of my nose.

hello first of all i wish You get well soonSince you have been operated twice before, there may not be enough cartilage for the nose, in this case cartilage will need to be taken from the back of the ear or the rib bone.You will need to have revision rhinoplasty in order to correct the problems in your nose.

Hi, thank you for the questions. Even I cant see the images, I should mention that a revision surgery would be your decision with its risks. Experience is so essential for these cases. Also; your skin, general health condition, age, physcology is of importance. RegardsOprDr Cem AltindagIstanbul
