Asked By:Doubledee in Marina Del Rey, CA

I had my 3rd rhinoplasty early 2010 then about 6 months later I got hit in face and had my nose broke. I went to a reconstructive surgeon who did a open rhinoplasty.He told me I had a ton of scar tissue so this was the smallest he could get the tip, he gave me several injections for the swelling. He also tried to remove sutures but my nostrils did not connect. He had me come back and he re sutured my nostrils over 5x before they attached. I'm having trouble breathing.
