My after nose looks worse 8 months post-op, am I botched? (Photos)

Question

Hi all, I underwent to revision rhinoplasty 8 months ago. I'm very unsatisfied and my nose looks worse than before. Am i a botched case?? All i wanted from this surgery was to have a smaller tip and nostrils, and to fix my crooked nose. Now only the tip is smaller, but the nose is deviated in the same direction as before, the bridge is soo wide and nostrils are horrible. This was my second surgery to my nose. My doctor wants to fix itt locally, but i dont think it can be done much

Hello. I don't think your nose is botched. Revision surgery can be difficult. I see the areas that you're concerned with. I would give time at least past 12-15 months before considering a revision. There is still time for swelling to improve. Taping and steroid injections may be good options to improve your nose before doing surgery. Hope this helps.
