I had a rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons - nose is crooked. Can this be fixed? (Photos)

Polite920335Jun 1, 2025
I had cosmetic surgery over 2 years ago for cosmetic reasons, my nose is now crooked and it has gotten worse I would say. I don’t know if this can be fixed, I’m worried another surgery, revision will make it worse. Please advice!! Here is a photo prior to surgery and after surgery

I would recommend a revision rhinoplasty. There are some irregularities of the bones and cartilages that cannot be fixed any other way. You need to be very cautious in selecting a very experienced revision rhinoplasty surgeon. Revision rhinoplasty is a subspecialty of aesthetic surgery alone.
