A few years ago I (male, 25 years) had a septorhinoplasty. I can breathe better now but my nose looks really bad from the frontal view. The nasal bones are too thin and overly narrowed. Is there a way to reverse the osteotomies or widen the upper part of the nose. I also have thick skin on the lower part of my nose. Is there a way to give the nose a more harmonious shape so that it doesn't look so wide and bulky? Is it possible to achieve some improvements? Thanks for your help!

You can absolutely get a revision rhinoplasty for only functional reasons. In fact, this is pretty common as historically, rhinoplasties to make the nose "smaller" often tend to then worsen nasal breathing and cause collapse, so very commonly a revision has to be done to help improve breathing.
