My nostrils are different sizes and my nose looks crooked - should I get a revision? (Photo)

May 7, 2024
Asked By:nessquickest in Sanger, California

I am a 35 y/o female, and had a rhinoplasty 8 months ago. When I look back at pictures from when I first had it done, it looks nice. I was still getting used to I being so high, as I had a droopy tip, especially when I smiled, but everything looked good. I’ve recently noticed my right nostril is considerably smaller and my nose looks crooked, especially when you look from the base up. I had a bit of skin cut out to help with the size difference but it still looks crooked to me.

Are you sure that's cartilage? It looks a lot like medpor to me? You need to have a long chat to your surgeon, and find out exactly what was put where in your nose, generally if substantial pieces of structural graft are lost, you can expect both functional and cosmetic problems.
