Is there any chance a revision septoplasty could fix this issue? (Photo)

Asked By:jdub2332 in San Diego, California

I had a septoplasty and turbinate reduction in March 2024 (writing this in October 2024). The surgeon made my nasal cavity so wide that the appearance of my nose has drastically changed. The tip/base of the nose is now much wider and flatter, and it’s causing me a lot of insecurity. Is there hope that a revision surgery could fix this issue and make the nose look closer to the pre-op appearance? I’ve included 2 before and 2 after pictures.
