Broke my nose in an accident at school which left me with a sharp one sided hump. I had a rhinoplasty at age 17 then 18 - first 2 were just rasping of the hump no tip work, was unsuccessful and at age 20 my 3rd (with a different doctor) hump gone, tip way too rotated. Now after 10 years of psychological upset I want to revisit this but I’m absolutely petrified. I know this is a difficult fix. Please advise if non surgical methods could work and if suggested over another rhinoplasty?
