Two months ago I had a rhinoplasty in which a nose implant was inserted. The implant gave my nose an unpleasant appearance while inhibiting my breathing from the left nostril. A week after the first surgery the implant was removed through my right nostril. Now two months later I am experiencing pain in my nostril (a bitting sensation) accompanied with frequent sneezing and excess discharge from only my left nostril . Is this normal or could there possibly be an infection?

Unfortunately you will need a revision to remove the hump, shorten your nose, and improve tip projection. Consult with an experienced revision specialist who will give you a natural result while correcting the features you do not like.
