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?
