Dear Doctors, last year my Crooked nose had rhino. Now I'm left with overscooped bridge + high nose-Tip. Also before surgery had symmetric nostrils. Now left-Nostril (alar base) alone was shortened, made front-view asymmetric and left-Profile very thin. (anything except reducing right Nostril?) *Front view look artificial. All I see is Holes. Does bringing tip down alone could bring my previous front-view back?or need to widen that whole wings+tip area to achieve previous natural frontview?

Your nose has a very wide base with poor projection. You would benefit from a rhinoplasty. You will need cartilage addition to your septum to increase your projection and make it more triangular. You will need the nostrils narrowed internally as well.

Most of the time this will fixed by itself once the inflammation process finishes, if it persists we...
