I feel like the right side of my nose comes in more than my left side leaving me a weird shaped nose. Also when I smile my nose seems to spread out wide. I feel like it is also still long and droopy. Surgery was done on 8/6/14 and it is now 1/31/15. I hope I'm just being my own worst critic!!

Answer: Crooked Nose after a Rhinoplasty You are approximately 5 months after your surgery. While it will take up to 1 year to see the final results, you are getting a good estimation of your result at this time. The main goal of a rhinoplasty is to make a nose that blends with the face. No rhinoplasty surgeon can create the perfect the nose.At this point in time, you first need to let your nose continue to heal. I will look different 6 months from now. At that time, if you are concerned about your results, I would ask your rhinoplasty surgeon his thoughts about improving your concerns. If you choose to have an additional procedure, I would choose wisely. A revision rhinoplasty can be challenging. I hope this helps.

Answer: Crooked nose crooked problem Correcting a crooked nose to make it perfectly straight is a crooked problem. I say that because even in the best of hands it might not be completely correctable. The goal is to have maximal improvement. In your case there is a significant improvement. It is best that you leave it alone especially if you are not having any breathing problems. If you still want some correction, then wait for one whole year and get a second opinion. RegardsDr. J

Answer: Nasal deformities after prior rhinoplasty You have a multitude of problems on frontal view and I encourage you to see a surgeon who specializes in revision rhinoplasty including ear and rib cartilage grafting, which you may very well need to address your aesthetic concerns, which will become (if they haven't already) functional problems. Whether or not you have a pollybeak deformity cannot be assessed without seeing a profile/side view, nor is it all that relevant in your case. The bigger problem is the overly narrowed nasal bridge, nasal deviation, supra-alar pinching, asymmtric alae, asymmetric nostrils, and hanging infratip lobule. It appears on frontal view that you do not have adequate tip support either. Again, please see a revision rhinoplasty specialist even if this entails traveling out of state or even internationally. Best wishes!
