Should I trust the same doctor for a revision rhinoplasty? (Photo)

August 16, 2017
Asked By:salvamea in Los Angeles, CA

Or is it "you messed up once, you'll mess up again"? I tried my best to avoid having a revision by choosing the top doctor but now I'm left with an asymmetrical/unrefined nose. I'm 11 months post op but the asymmetries are in the nasal bones and upper lateral cartilage (not swelling). So asymmetry and a much larger nose than the original objective (nostril flare, tip..) I am so depressed and don't know what to do. Am I being too unreasonable? Many thanks in advance.
