I have extra cartilage on left side of the nose. It's caved on the right. Do I need a revision to make it straight? (Photo)

Asked By:BBle1234 in Seattle, WA

I had rhinoplasty 10 years ago. And I absolutely loved my nose. But over the years, I notice a bump on my right side and caved on the right. Making my nose appear crooked, and have a beakish appearance. Do I need to seek revision rhinoplasty to fix this? I love my nose looking straight on, so I'm not looking for a drastic change.
