I got rhinoplasty a year ago. I am concerned about the right side being more pronounced than the left. Would it make a difference if I opted for steroid injections where excess scar tissue might be to reduce the right side?

Yes, your nose can be lengthened during rhinoplasty. Typically the length of the nose is measured from the top of the bridge to the tip of your nose. By augmenting your dorsum and raising the starting point of your nose, the length of your nose will increase. This can be combined with projecting...
