Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Or up close photos are a bit difficult to interpret, however, there appears to be a reverse c-shaped deviation of your nasal bones. When all of your swelling from surgery and from the trauma has resolved, feel free to re-ask your question with before and after photos for a more definitive answer as to what you might need moving forward. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Revision rhinoplasty is the most difficult operation to perform in the entire field of cosmetic surgery, so much more information is needed such as a full set of facial photographs from all angles, and copies of the operative reports to find out what was accomplished the first two procedures before embarking on a third procedure. It's very important to know how much cartilage is left over on the inside of the nose for potential grafting purposes.
