How can I achieve this result? Severe nostril asymmetry (one twice the size), alar retraction, polly, droopy tip (photos)

Question

I had a successful rhino for a hump in 2013, later on I noticed my nose looked crooked and my septum was severely deviated. I had septoplasty in which I was told would be enough to fix both problems. During the operation one side of my nostril retracted and during the procedure my doctor didn’t fix it well. Now I need a revision, what would I need done to achieve this morph? Is it possible? How difficult would this case be? Last, how long would it take?

Your candidacy for revision rhinoplasty will require an examination. Repair of your poly-beak, adding tip projection on profile, and an attempt at improving nasal symmetry may be considered. You may need cartilage grafting to reconstruct and support your droopy tip, and this is best performed with nasal septal cartilage. An examination would be necessary...Thank you. Dr Joseph
