What are the odds of a completely successful revision rhinoplasty? (Photo)

February 21, 2016
Asked By:Ru2013 in Piscataway, NJ

8 years ago I had rhinoplasty along with dev. septum correction. It was unsuccessful and my nose looks awful. It wasn't as much what he did, but what he didn't do, as it looks the same as before. I'm TERRIFIED of a second disaster but I also feel I can't continue looking at this any longer. I know revision is more difficult and I want to know realistically if I could fix this or learn to live with it. Even the best Drs on this site have some bad rhino reviews and that makes me very nervous.
