Is this even something I should try to correct, or should I just give up? (Photo)

Based on your photos, before you go through additional surgery, you may want to consider fillers and possibly silicone for a nonsurgical improvement that can look very nice. If you need surgery, however, in an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon's hands it isn't too risky.

Based on your photos, I agree that you have thin skin, and you appear to have an indentation along the right side wall of your nose. Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe considered for providing a permanently straighter nasal appearance without undergoing further surgery. I hope this is helpful for you, and I thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

You appear to have an inverted V deformity on the R side. This can be fixed with cartilage grafting along the dorsum and osteotomies of the nasal bones.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a revision rhinoplasty with placement of a fascial graft to help provide smoother contour of the dorsum and tip. 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.

A full set of facial photographs from all angles that are in focus are required to make a determination about how best to proceed, since revision rhinoplasty is the most difficult operation to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery. It's also important to know how much cartilage is left over on the inside of your nose for potential grafting purposes.
