41, female, had rhinoplasty & septoplasty 2019, revision 2020 - fillers perhaps? (Photos)

Question

Hi there, I’m a 41 year old female. I had the following procedures done, on the dates provided. Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty: June 10, 2019 Rhinoplasty Revision: August 17, 2020 I am not happy with my end results. Appearance: no definition-still appears bulbous, with VERY uneven nostrils. Function: cartilage collapsed again, after 2 procedures. I can’t breathe through my right nostril. My surgeon said, there’s nothing he can do for me anymore. Please help!! Fillers perhaps? Even out nostrils?

We look at the base of your nose, the bulge in your right nostril may well be the bottom of your nasal septum. That bulge is apparent on front view as well. I suspect that in order to improve your breathing and improve nostril asymmetry, revision surgery may be necessary. Please consider Consulting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists so you can see what might be best for you moving forward. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph

Hello! Thank you for your question.From the photos you provided it seems evident that you can't breathe from the right nostril. The overall shape of your nose looks ok but you need to get a revision to help you breathe better and make the nostrils more even (but please keep in mind that 100% symmetry is not possible).Best regards!
