Next steps for revision rhinoplasty? Nose is still uneven and large. (photos)

Question

Hi there, I am very unhappy with the bottom two-thirds of my nose this many months after surgery. My nose was very boxy and bulbous beforehand, and now I believe a lot of scar tissue has developed, leaving the right side of my nose and the tip looking extremely asymmetrical. It looks really bad. My surgeon has not used steroids yet and I feel like we should have done that MONTHS ago. What steps should I take nex? What kinds of revisions should I look at? I want it to look even.

Steroid injections may NOT be beneficial in the upper third of your nose after revision rhinoplasty. Your skin is very thin at the top, and skin indentations may occur there. Consider re-asking your question with full face photos. Hope this helps. Dr Josepjh

Hi Ryan,It appears from the images that, the concerns about the tip bulkiness-asymetry as well as some nose bridge irregularity, unfortunately.One year after your surgery time would be ideal for a revision surgery (A six days trip in Istanbul), we would like to help you, should you need more info about revision.
