Cleft Lip Revision Rhinoplasty - 21 yrs old? (photo)

texsoulDec 4, 2013
I was born with a cleft lip and had surgery when I was 14, hoping to make my nose more symmetrical. I was unhappy with the results. I am now 21 and wanting another surgery to get the symmetry in my nose and a more natural looking upper lip since I do not have much of a cupid's bow. Is this possible? How do I find a doctor who specializes in cleft-lip revision rhinoplasty?
