Hanging columella and nostril show 3 years post-rhinoplasty (photo)

Question

I had a rhinoplasty around 3 years ago and my nose looks really bad. It’s very asymmetrical and the nostril show was even noticed by my sister as „strangely showing“. I wanted to hear some opinions in case im overreacting. The columella also seems to be drooping down somewhat.

You have asymmetry of your nostrils and also depression of the tip on one side. 
You need alarplasty to get more symmetry and a cartilage graft in the depressed area of left tip. 
Both can be done under local anesthesia.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a revision rhinoplasty.  This can be designed to help improve nostril symmetry and correct alar retraction (ability to see inside nostrils). With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
