Secondary Rhinoplasty After 20 Years, Are My Issues Fixable?

August 2, 2011
Asked By:sadhonker

I had a bad rhinoplasty 20 years ago that left me with a twisted nose, a polly beak deformity, and dents. I had a revision about 18 months later, which you see here. While it is a vast improvement over the first surgery, I am still unhappy with the way my nose looks. The surgeon who did the revision is no longer in practice. I am considering booking some consultations with revision specialists, but I was wondering if my issues as pictured are even fixable? I have thick skin. Thanks for input!
