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

Hi magical. that depends on how long out from surgery these pictures are. If it is still relatively recent, you could consider getting scar injections to the area to see if you can soften the irregularities (within 1 year). If it has been longer, then you may possibly need to get some kind of...
