Hi momo! This is a very hard question. Some things to consider: how long have they been in practice, are they board-certified and by what groups?, how many revision rhinoplasties do they do approximately (maybe per year or per month), do they feel comfortable handling your nose in particular, do...
You can absolutely get a revision rhinoplasty for only functional reasons. In fact, this is pretty common as historically, rhinoplasties to make the nose "smaller" often tend to then worsen nasal breathing and cause collapse, so very commonly a revision has to be done to help improve breathing.
Hello, hope you are well. It appears to be an inverted V deformity. This happens when the nasal cartilage is disarticulated from the nasal bones, which causes a step-off shaped this way on the nasal bridge. Revision rhinoplasty is required to correct that type of problem.
