Is my nose worth getting revision? 2 months post-op and my tip looks pinched and my nostrils look collapsed (Photo)

Asked By:Tia844 in Los Angeles, California

I am an 18 year old female with white skin and is 5’4. I weigh 110 pounds. Immediately after my cast removal I noticed something was wrong. One side looks more caved in than the other but both sides are pretty pinched. My doctor said that this is because “the skin is still stuck together” but after intensive research I can tell that he might have taken too much cartilage. When I smile it looks like my nostrils separate from the rest of my bridge and my breathing has become way worse.
