I did revision rhinoplasty: I now have uneven small nostrils, short nose and too pointy lifted nose, very unnatural (Photo)

Question

About a year ago I had open revision rhinoplasty in Istanbul Turkey. I did surgery there for my deviated septum and very cosmetic reasons. My cosmetic issue was my profile on each side was not even and my tip was very rounded and long. I wanted to keep the shape of my nose but just fix the symmetry on mh profile and bulging tip. The doctor said he would need to use cartilage from my nose to fix it. My nose now is too lifted with small uneven nostrils and too short for my face. How can I fix it?

Based on your photos, your nasal tip does not appear to be over rotated. Generally, it is not possible to widen somebody's nostrils that have been surgically narrowed. On the base view of your nose, you appear to have an indentation above your right nostril margin. If you feel as though you're right nostril is higher than your left on front view, depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections maybe considered for lowering your right nostril, perhaps for symmetry. I hope this is helpful. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello - you have several issues going on. Your nostrils are uneven, and there is irregularity on the dorsum of the nose.  This can be improved but it is a significant procedure.
