Initially successful septorhinoplasty has now become crooked. Should I consider a revision? (photos)

November 15, 2022
Asked By:IndySH in Avon Park, Florida

A year ago I had a septorhinoplasty, mainly due to collapsed internal nasal valves. The surgery helped my breathing immensely. I also had my dorsal hump lowered, and nose straightened. My breathing is vastly improved and in profile, I feel the nose looks great. However, I noticed it’s become reasonably crooked from front on again. My toddler did head butt my nose quite badly six weeks post op, is that enough to cause it? Would you recommend revision surgery? It’s disappointing! Thank you!
