Do I need a revision rhinoplasty? If so, what do you think needs fixed about my nose? Do I have a deviated septum? (Photos)

Question

I also have had trouble breathing ever since I had my primary rhinoplasty. I can only breathe out of 1 nostril at a time and the side that I can breathe out of switches constantly. My breathing was perfect before the surgery. Can you tell by the photos if I have a deviated septum? Please help me. Thank you.

First of all hank you for your question!From the photos it looks like you have a small septum deviation (to the right) with a droopy tip. Your breathing is probably affected because of the septum deviation. A revision rhinoplasty surgery will help you fix your breathing issue, and give a better shape to the tip (if you want of course).

If you are happy with the appearance, you can benefit from septoplasty surgery to solve your breathing problem without touching the appearance. Please check our Instagram account and RealSelf photos.

Your nose looks excellent, other than the hanging columella that you currently have. A columella-plasty can certainly accomplish reduction of the excess skin hanging below your nostrils. A thorough internal examination of the nose going to be required to make a determination about what is causing your breathing issues which can be valve collapse, a deviated nasal septum, or your turbinates that are enlarged
