Please, need a 2nd opinion, rhinoplasty & septum 1 year ago & nose still not straight (Photos)

Question

Hi, I had rhinoplasty and septum plastic over 1 year ago and my nose is still not straight and will also be so. I asked my surgeon why he wouldnt straighten my nose when I told him to do so, and then he said he was afraid that the nose could collapse. Is this really true or is he just unskilled? So my 2 big questions are: - Is it possible to still make my nose straight? - The side wall on the outside of my nose are much higher than the other side.Is it possible to make it equal to other side

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a a revision rhinoplasty to help straighten your mid-vault and tip asymmetry. Nasal tip deprojection and a fascial graft will help the tip symmetry. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

Based on your photos, you do not appear to have a terribly crooked nasal appearance. If you have some minor irregularities along your nasal side walls that might because you knows to look crooked, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon 1000 injections may be considered for achieving a straighter nasal appearance. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
