I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing. It's understandable that changes in your appearance can be distressing, especially if they're affecting your mental well-being. Here are a few steps you might consider taking:

Seek a Second Opinion: If you haven't already, consider consulting with another ENT specialist or a facial plastic surgeon. Different specialists might offer new insights or treatment options.

Consult a Plastic or Reconstructive Surgeon: A specialist in facial plastic or reconstructive surgery might be able to assess whether there are any structural changes that can be addressed surgically.

Psychological Support: Since the change in appearance is affecting your mental health, speaking with a mental health professional could be beneficial. They can provide support and coping strategies to help manage the emotional impact.

Imaging Studies: If not already done, requesting imaging studies such as a CT scan or MRI might provide a clearer picture of any structural changes to the bones or cartilage.

Telemedicine Options: If access to specialists is limited, consider using telemedicine services to reach experts who might not be in your immediate area.

Remember, your concerns are valid, and seeking further evaluation to find both physical and emotional support is an important step. If you need assistance finding specialists or resources, please let me know, and I can help guide you further.
