Slightly curved nose and unsymmetrical nostrils. Can this be fixed? (Photos)

Question

I had closed Septorhinoplasty one and half year ago. My nostrils are uneven and nose looks curved towards right. Nostrils are wider and flare when I smile. There is a dent on the side of nostril. In certain lights nose looks very unsymmetrical.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you are a great candidate for a revision rhinoplasty. Maneuvers for your surgery would include dorsal hump reduction, tip refinement, nasal tip deprojection, tip elevation, among other maneuvers. Alar contour grafts and tip tensioning can also be performed to improve nostril symmetry.   With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
