Had surgery 6 months ago as I still couldn't breathe through my nose. I was told the aesthetics would only change slightly where my nose was slightly pinched before to open up the nasal valve. The septum was straightened, I had bilateral spreader grafts, tip graft and onlay grafts. However I hate the way it looks now! My nose has a weird shape to it and the shadowing on my right side is horrible and overall very big! What can be done? I also still can't breathe so I'm gutted.

Yes, this would require a cartilage onlay graft to the dorsum with cartilage from you (preferably rib cartilage) or an allograft cartilage graft cadaver.
Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a nasal tip deprojection to shorten your entire tip complex. The hard graft in your tip could also be replaced with a soft fascial graft at the same time for a smoother contour. I recommend that you seek...
In some women, their faces can become very swollen during a pregnancy, and this can lead to a swollen nasal appearance, especially after rhinoplasty surgery. This should not however lead to any permanent problems like you are referring to. I hope this is helpful, and have fun. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
