Revision rhinoplasty - can my crooked nose be fixed? (Photos)

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you may benefit from a revision rhinoplasty. Your surgeon can accomplish this by trimming, suturing, and reshaping the cartilage in your lower nose. Fascial grafts may also be used to help improve tip refinement. This can also be designed to make your nose straighter. 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.

persisting asymmetry after prior rhinoplasty can happen for a variety of reasons- this can be due to cartilage positioning, asymmetric position of the nasal bones, among other things. A second revision surgery is possible to address your concerns with the exact surgical plan being dependent on your specific anatomy and examination. often, in crooked noses, this includes repositioning the nasal septum, repositioning the nasal bones and addressing the nasal tip. Patients with darker skin often will have thicker soft tissues which can contribute to a lack of definition in the appearance of the nose, but this can also occur from too many cartilage grafts being used. Find a surgeon with specific training in rhinoplasty surgery who can discuss your goals with a second revision and provide a detailed plan on how to correct your issues.
