I had my first rhinoplasty when I was 18 (hs grad gift LOL). Because I was young, the doctor kind of lied and didn't do as much as I wanted. 5 years later, I got my first revision. I waited to save money to go to a world-renowned surgeon. It came out CROOKED. So I got a second revision. It looked crooked as soon as I took off the bandage and it still does. Even worse than the last time. I am SO self-conscious of it. What can I do to fix it? Everyone says another revision is too risky.
