In 1993 I had rhinoplasty in NYC to correct a hump on my nose, a droopy tip and reduce my nose width. The hump was removed, but the tipped remain droopy and the nostrils were cut and restitched so poorly that the left nostril extends further out than the right, the nostrils are shapeless and do not have a curvature, like two flaps - with no shape or cartilage.
