I had a nose job a little over a year ago and I'm not satisfied with the results. My nose looks better than it was originally but I don't think it's that symmetrical on both sides (I know we all have facial asymmetry's but this is pretty obvious) and there's other little things that bother me that I wanna fix. When I had my consultation I feel like I was not really sure what I wanted my nose to look like so I can't entirely blame the surgeon. do you recommend going back to the same surgeon?

Answer: Should I go back to my original surgeon for my revision rhinoplasty?
It wouldn't be a good idea to manipulate the inside of your nose. You can certainly do harm by doing that. I recommend that you see a facial plastic surgeon who can examine your nose (inside and outside) thoroughly.
Hi Sienna,Some more information about the procedure would be helpful. It depends on how long ago rhinoplasty was performed as your nose can still be swollen or healing. You seem to have a dorsal hump, this can be slimmed down. Consider a revision rhinoplasty if it has been at least 1 year since...
Dear 22222, A photo would be needed for any expert opinion. I would suggest that you see your surgeon for a follow up appointment and after an examination a proper diagnosis can be made and a treatment plan set. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
