What kind of deformity is this? Can it be solved with a secondary operation?

Question

I have had rhinoplasty and septum deviation surgery for 3 months and my nose does not look good at all, it is deformed. I would like to know what kind of deformation it is and if it can be solved with a secondary operation? Thank you

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you appear to have a residual dorsal hump and dorsal contour irregularities.  This could all be addressed during a revision.   With good surgical technique, you could have an outstanding result. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.

The easiest thing to do would be to re-ask your question where you describe what is bothering you about your nose. You could also post before and after photos, since sometimes people need time to adjust to a new nasal appearance. Since you were only three months postoperative, asymmetries at the nasal base may simply be due to swelling. I hope this is helpful, and I wish you well moving forward. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
