Less invasive tip revision options 3+ years after septorhinoplasty? (Photo)

Question

Not disfigured, just disappointed. Had septorhinoplasty 3+ years ago for deviated septum and nose that pointed to the left. Goal was to breathe better/nose look straight from the front but still look like me (not smaller; keeping bump). Breathing hasn't really improved. Bridge is fine but the tip is noticeably larger/droopier and swells throughout the day. My nostrils seem to flare. Could steroid injections or liquid rhinoplasty help? Or tip plasty under local anesthetic?

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photographs, you may benefit from a a nasal tip deprojection and tip elevation. To support your tip. Your breathing can also likely be improved at this time also. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
