My nose was straight(ish) before (the tip slightly curved but it wasnt noticeable). My surgeon took down dorsal hump and corrected slightly deviated septum, and now it is a mess, the bridge is pushed far to the left. What reason would it have healed like this? It was straight after my cast was removed. Will revising this be challenging? I also want my bridge taken down further and tip taken in and lifted. Thanks

Answer: Revision rhinoplasty to straighten the crooked nose A revision rhinoplasty will be required to straighten the crooked nose. Osteotomies placed in the nasal bones can accomplish straightening them. A cartilaginous spreader graft will also be required to be placed underneath the concave upper lateral cartilage in the midportion of the nose. Yes, this is a challenge because revision rhinoplasty for a crooked nose can be one of the most difficult procedures to perform correctly in the entire field of cosmetic surgery, so choose your surgeon very wisely based on extensive experience

Answer: Nose deviated after Rhinoplasty Thanks for your question. From the frontal pictures provided it does look like your nose is more deviated now than before the surgery but more photos from different angles would be needed to make a full assessment. When your cast was first removed there would have been more swelling which can mask deviation but it is also possible that your nose was unstable and that relatively minor trauma may have cased things to shift. Most good Rhinoplasty surgeons try to ensure the structure of your reshaped nose is stable at the end of the operation so that the long term result is more predictable and in line with the preoperative plan. You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon but if you are unhappy with the result of that discussion then seek a second opinion from an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon (not just one who advertises a lot or has a large web presence). Correcting your problem should be possible but will be greatly assisted if you can bring preoperative photos and precise details of the operation performed to whoever you are consulting with
