Asked By:lookitscrystal in Houston, TX

I have an open septo-rhinoplasty 9 months ago and I am terribly unhappy with the results. I am afraid to have a revision and make matters worse, so I want to be able to be very clear with my new surgeon. What is this V shape I am seeing on the frontal view and how can it be improved? Do the risks outweigh the benefits if I underwent revision? Is there little improvement that can be made to my result? I have issues breathing as well. I feel much worse off than I was before surgery.
