Is my deviation post-rhinoplasty noticeable enough to pursue a revision? (Photo)

Question

I had a septorhinoplasty performed in 2018. My doctor said when I got out of surgery that the deviation was pretty bad. All in all I am very happy with the result both cosmetically and functionally, however I notice that my nose still leans slightly to the right. Is it noticeable enough to inquire about a revision or do you think it's ok as it is?

Hi @jenryder. Thank you for sharing your photos. I recommend seeing an expert revision rhinoplasty specialist for an in person examination. There are options for you that can be determined after examination.

Best of luck,

Dr. Nima

Good Afternoon! Deviation after rhinoplasty can be very challenging to correct. The need to fix it is completely dependent on what you feel is important or bothersome. It sounds like you're happy with your result and your function is good. It appears the surgeon did a great job for you. There is always a risk of creating deformity any time a revision occurs. Weigh the pros and cons and determine if it's bothersome enough to you to fix. Hope this helps you!
